Shadow Secretary of State for Health

The Shadow Secretary of State for Health is an office within British politics held by a member of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition. The duty of the office holder is to scrutinise the actions of the government's Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and develop alternative policies. The office holder is a member of the Shadow Cabinet and appointed by the Leader of the Opposition. 

Unlike the Secretary of State the position shadows, the Shadow Secretary's official title does not include social care as this brief is reserved for the Shadow Minister for Mental Health and Social Care; currently Barbara Keeley MP.
