  • Health April 2015
    Prospective Parliamentary Candidates Health April 2015 29 April 2015 • 1 General Election 2015: Health Introduction The 2010 General Election saw an unprecedented turnover of MPs, with 227 new Members of Parliament (MPs) elected to the House of Commons. While it is not expected this election will produce anywhere near the same number of new MPs, the prospect of over one hundred new parliamentarians means the House of Commons in 2015 will be markedly different from its current make- up. Health policy has dominated this Parliament. The Health and Social Care Act, which was passed in 2012, has proven to be one of the most controversial healthcare reforms in a generation. The Labour party has chosen to campaign on the NHS at the forefront of their bid for 10 Downing Street on 7th May, which has led to some of the most heated exchanges so far, with accusations and counter accusations of “privatising” or “weaponising” the NHS. Over the past few months, Political Intelligence has undertaken detailed research into parliamentary candidates in order to build an authoritative briefing on the likely future make-up of the Commons. This briefing details candidates with a demonstrable interest in, and experience of, the health sector and health policy. They range from those in safe-seats, to those who have an outside chance. But their experience before Parliament, if elected, may well help shape the health debate over the course of the next five years. 29 April 2015 • 2 The Class of 2015 The candidates listed below are those in either marginal or already safe seats, and therefore have a high likelihood of being elected on the 7th May; Mike O’Brien Party: Labour Constituency: North Warwickshire Incumbent MP: Dan Byles (Conservative) Majority: 54 Background: O’Brien unexpectedly lost the North Warwickshire seat at the last election when he lost to Dan Byles, the Conservative candidate, by a wafer thin margin of 54 votes.
