Hinckley and Bosworth MP made Shadow Health Minister

"I will continue to make representations to the Government so that we can improve healthcare both locally and nationally."

The Member of Parliament for Hinckley and Bosworth, Dr Luke Evans,  has been made Shadow Minister of State for Health.

 Dr Evans trained and worked as a junior doctor in the NHS in Birmingham and worked as a GP before standing in the General Election in December 2019.

Soon after his election in 2019, Dr Evans joined the Health and Social Care Select Committee where he stayed for nearly three years - including throughout the Covid-19 pandemic - and helped to shape national health policy.

Now following the election of Kemi Badenoch as Leader of the Conservative Party, Dr Evans has been Shadow Health Minister and will work alongside fellow Leicestershire MP Ed Argar (Shadow Health Secretary), and fellow medic Dr Caroline Johnson (also a Shadow Minister).

 Dr Luke Evans, Member of Parliament for Hinckley and Bosworth, said “Training and working as a junior doctor in the NHS and then as a GP, has shown me not only the very best of our health system, but also the ways in which we can improve and innovate for the future.

“I am delighted to accept the position of Shadow Health Minister and I'm looking forward to working with the Shadow Health team. I will continue to make representations to the Government so that we can improve healthcare both locally and nationally.”
