The Telegraph is reporting that shadow health secretary Andrew Lansley received a contribution of £21,000 from the chairman of Care UK, a private care provider.
The revelation would seem to cast doubt on the Conservatives' policies which would see further outsourcing in health.
However, The Times points out that it is the chairman's wife who has made the donation and that both her and her husband are regular Tory donors.
The
Telegraph also reports that health secretary Andy Burnham is going to
write to Lansley to ask him to guarantee that Tory policy is not
dictated by private interests.
