Tories exposed in the latest ‘conflict of interest’ register
Privateer Circle Healthcare is back, this time funding the wife of a health minister to send business to them — away from the NHS. What a strange coincidence, says SOLOMON HUGHES
AWKWARD TRUTHS: Rishi Sunak’s wife Akshata Murthy would directly profit from the PM’s private childminding scheme

ONE of the revelations in the recently released register of ministers’ interests is that a current health minister’s wife’s job is to get people out of the NHS and into private hospitals.

The latest register of ministers’ interests, which shows potential conflicts of interest in the government, took a year to appear. The register has attracted attention because of questions about whether it properly reflects Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s wife’s interest in his childcare funding plan.

Sunak has a scheme to expand childcare by offering a £1,200 bonus to people who register as childminders. But they only get the bonus if they register through one of six private childminder agencies.
