Damian has been appointed to the Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Health Secretary.
Commenting on his appointment, Damian said:
Health and social care are hugely important to everyone. These truly are vital services of the highest order.
I’m really excited to be rejoining the Shadow Front Bench in this role and look forward to meeting and listening to professionals and patients as I get into my new brief. Over the years I’ve benefitted a great deal from learning from our local NHS and providers in and around East Hampshire.
As I have always sought to, I will work constructively and positively, while robustly scrutinising the decisions the Government takes and holding it to account for what it delivers - and what it doesn’t.
Reforming social care is obviously high on the agenda. And there are multiple other current issues too that also affect us locally in Hampshire.
