Health Minister Lord Darzi to quit
Lord Darzi of Denham, the Health Minister, will today become the latest of Gordon Brown’s so-called goats — outsiders appointed to the Government — to announce his resignation, the Times reports.
Ara Darzi, 49, a leading surgeon who oversaw the last round of NHS reforms, will say that he is stepping down as a minister but will continue as an adviser.
His departure will be seen as a further blow to Prime Minister Brown. Lord Malloch-Brown, another “goat”, said recently that he was stepping down as Foreign Office Minister and Lord Jones of Birmingham, the former head of the CBI, had already quit as Trade Minister.
