This talk of who should be Minister due to qualifications is mind numbing. The minister answers for the department on the floor of the legislature; and that's it. They aren't researching or conducting specialized projects, and the actual work is done by the Deputy Minister and below. It makes zero difference whether the person is healthy themselves, or has actual experience in the healthcare system. It make some people feel better, but in truth might or might not lead to actual better policy.
