Nick Seddon is a former private healthcare lobbyist who was appointed health advisor to UK Prime Minister David Cameron in May 2013.
Lobbying for private healthcare
Before joining the Number 10 policy unit, Seddon was deputy director of Reform - a right-leaning free market think tank which receives funding from healthcare and insurance companies.
Prior to this, he was head of communications for Circle, the first private healthcare company to run an NHS hospital, Hinchingbrooke.
Before joining No.10 under Labour, he also led the ‘cross-government delivery unit for the Health, Work and Wellbeing Strategy’, supporting Dame Carol Black’s review of the health of Britain’s workforce. [1]
Seddon's salary for his health adviser position is £78,000 annually. [2]
