A private bathroom reportedly costing £44,000 has been built in Jeremy Hunt’s new office, it has emerged. The 15ft-by- 8ft shower suite has ceiling- high slate tiles and sensor-activated lights and a large vanity mirror so he can “freshen up” privately after cycling to work, according to a report in  The Sun . The bathroom is part of a wider refurbishment at the Department of Health at Wellington House in London’s Waterloo, which costs £25m of taxpayers’ money. A source told the newspaper: “It’s a disgrace that Hunt talks about the need to save money while getting the taxpayer to pay for a private bathroom fit for a king. “People across Britain are waiting on trollies at hospitals because there are no beds and waiting lists are getting longer by the day. But that’s OK, as long as Jeremy doesn’t have to queue for the bathroom.” The Department of Health, currently based in Whitehall, was unable to give details about plans for a suite, and did not confirm how much it would cost, who i...

Jeremy Hunt has denied a report that he has installed a £44,000 toilet and shower suite for his personal use in the Department for Health’s new offices. According to the Sun, the private bathroom includes a designer toilet, lava tiles, a designer power shower and sensor-activated lights. It claimed that it had been fitted to allow him to wash and change after cycling to work. The Department of Health is due to move from Whitehall to new offices in nearby Victoria. Two nurses’ salaries The Sun calculated that the £44,000 price tag could have paid the salaries of two nurses or five heart bypass operations . The spending was branded ‘absurd’ by the TaxPayers’ Alliance. The department could not give details about plans for a suite, and did not confirm how much it would cost, who it would be for or where it would be located. But Mr Hunt tweeted : “Today’s TheSun story totally false . TRUE I requested shower for long dist cyclists in new Dept Health offices (as in current office). “FALSE...

The Health Secretary said, while he had asked the department to install a shower for staff who cycle to work, he would have no personal need for the facilities. The Sun reported that the new 15ft by 8ft room included floor -to- ceiling lava tiles , vanity mirrors, recessed lighting, a designer toilet and a power shower, despite the department’s new building already having showers in the basement. Jeremy Hunt backs report lamenting cash wasted in NHS Jeremy Hunt warns of risk to NHS funding 'if Brexit goes wrong' Jeremy Hunt: Major problems in the NHS are 'completely unacceptable' The paper said: “ Mr Hunt demanded the private suite in his penthouse office, which has magnificent views over the capital, so he can freshen up undisturbed after cycling to work.” And they quoted a whistleblower at the department's new HQ who said: “It’s a disgrace that Hunt talks about the need to save money while getting the taxpayer to pay for a private bathroom fit for a king. “Pe...

The private bathroom with a designer lavatory, power shower and sensor-activated lights has been commissioned for the Health Secretary in the department's new offices in Victoria, south London, according to The Sun.  The Department of Health, currently based in Whitehall, was unable to give details about plans for a suite, and did not confirm how much it would cost, who it would be for or where it would be located.

Credit: The S*n Despite demanding massive £22 billion worth of ‘efficiency savings’ from the already overstretched NHS budget , the deeply unpopular Conservative Health Secretary decided to spare absolutely no expense with his very own private taxpayer funded bathroom . Kitted out with floor to ceiling luxury slate tiles , state of the art motion activated lighting and even a ‘designer toilet’, Hunt’s bathroom, generously paid for by unwitting taxpayers, could have paid the salaries of two full time nurses . The Conservative minister insisted on having the bathroom installed so he can freshen up after his occasional cycle-rides to work. The new £25m Department of Health (DoH) offices, located in Central London, already have showers ...

It's a cliché but when you're married with kids it can be hard enough finding the time to go to the bathroom on your own, let alone spending time with your partner. So a relaxing massage and an overnight stay for the hubby and I at Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa sounded like a much needed break from arguing with our threenager (that's what comes after the terrible twos) about which colour socks she wants to wear. Set in almost 200 acres of parkland, Formby Hall has four- star facilities including a spa and health club and is currently undergoing a £2.4m refurbishment. The resort is also home to two golf courses including the 72 par 18-hole championship Old Course and PGA Golf Academy which brings visitors from all over Europe.
