In May 2010 Lord Darzi became a member of the Healthy Imagination Advisory Group of GE Healthcare, the medical technology unit of General Electric.[2] The role was approved by ACOBA, who saw "no reason why he should not take up the appointment forthwith, on the basis that he would not draw on any privileged information which was available to him as a Minister, subject to the condition that, for 12 months after leaving office, he should not become personally involved in lobbying Government on behalf of his new employer."[3]

ACOBA saw "no reason why he should not take up the [following] appointment[s] forthwith":[3]
