Can you remind me why Yvette Cooper [1], who's been trained as an Economist, is Secretary for Health and Social Care, after being Foreign Secretary and Home Secretary?

Literally the first name I clicked on from the UK government.

That one is pretty easy.

Running NHS (or any other health care system) is literally an economics problem.

Economics is a lot more than just money.
