Stephen Dorrell is a Conservative MP and former Secretary of State for Health. He was Chair of the Health Select Committee from 2010 to 2014.
His views are seen as an important guide to Tory thinking on the NHS, reflecting a strong belief in the power of markets, choice and competition to produce benefits for patients.[1]
After resigning from the Health Select Committee in June 2014, Dorrell announced in November 2014 he would be quitting parliament at the 2015 election as he has taken a job as a health consultant at KPMG. He will be working three days a week at KPMG from December 2014 onwards. Dorrell has admitted combining the roles of an MP and working for KPMG, who are planning on bidding for a £1 billion NHS contract, is incompatible but is still keeping his role as an MP until the general election in 2015.[2] [3]
