Health Select Committee elections force a radical evaluation of our NHS

Select Committee elections for Health force us to evaluate quality of service. Frontrunners for NHS Chairman are good friends of mine - and both are doctors: Dr Philip Lee, and Dr Sarah Wollaston are Conservative MPs and GPs of 20 year experience.
