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]
Revolving door and conflict of interest controversy
In November 2014, just months after resigning from the Health Select Committee in June, Dorrell announced he intended to quit parliament at the 2015 election due to taking up a role as a health consultant at Big Four firm KPMG. He will work three days a week for them from December 2014 onwards. Despite acknowledging the incompatability of combining the roles of an MP and working for KPMG, who are planning on bidding for a £1 billion NHS contract, Dorrell will remain an MP until the 2015 general election.[2] [3]
