The Parliamentary Under
secretary for Health Earl Howe, who led the Health and Social Care bill
proceedings in the House of Lords, was listed as a patron for pro-market think
tank 2020health, just before the elections.
Knowledge of the Earl’s
patronage has only just appeared after the discovery of a policy paper
written by 2020health for the Spanish right-wing publication ‘Sanifax.’ The
‘Dosier Especial’ titled ‘a healthier nation’, was a Green policy paper
produced in January 2010 and introduced in Spanish as having been created with
the ‘support of David Cameron’ on the ‘necessary reforms.’
