1. The IHPN (Independent Healthcare Provider Network) represents the interests of the UK's private hospitals + private health service providers. The CEO is David Hare who once worked for Whitehouse Comms. His ex-boss Chris Whitehouse runs Westminster health conferences that are well-attended by MPs.
Any thoughts on these links between the IHPN and Westminster? @carolinejmolloy.bsky.social @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social @jujuliagrace.bsky.social @everydoctor.org.uk @chpithinktank.bsky.social @jolyonmaugham.bsky.social @ethanshone.bsky.social
Chris Whitehouse has had meetings with Karin Smyth MP and David Lawson of the DHSC. The IHPN's wishes turn into government policy. Chris Whitehouse's right hand man is Max Wilson, a former Labour party staffer. I'm sure it's all legal. But is it right? labourrightwatch.wordpress.com/2025/04/08/m...
Obvious question, but not David Hare the playwright and screenwriter?
