Jeremy Hunt spends £44,000 of your tax money on a shower suite for himself
You have bought a luxury bathroom for Jeremy Hunt, so he won’t have to mix with the plebs who work for him [Image: Evolve Politics].
The cost of this extravagance could cover the annual wages of 2 nurses, 169 sessions of chemo or 15 delivered babies, This Site is reliably informed.
Meanwhile Jeremy Hunt has cut NHS funding by £22 billion, and nurses’ wages by 14 per cent.
Ask your Tory-voting, NHS-using neighbour why they keep letting people like Mr Hunt do this to them.
Conservative Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is at the centre of a fresh expenses row today after it emerged that he demanded a £44,000 taxpayer funded private bathroom was installed exclusively for his own personal use in his London penthouse office.
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 for staff close to the bike racks.
However, according to reports, Jeremy Hunt insisted on having his very own private bathroom installed in his penthouse office so he can freshen up without being disturbed by lower-level colleagues.

Austerity is only for us, not the likes of Hunt and his equally loathsome colleagues who are more than happy to squander public money on their greedy, selfish selves. Hopefully their time in office is limited.
They have already been given permission to do what they want by all citizens of the United Kingdom, the nasties (Tory) gave themselves a £15,000 pay rise while at the same time as they ripped the money from us, sick and Disabled, unemployed, and everyone else.
So this is nothing new, the nasties do what they want because nobody has said no.
They walk over us every day.
He should be made to pay for them
I would add to my previous reply that it will take more than an expensive bathroom to wash off the appalling stench of dishonesty and corruption which pervades the loathsome character Hunt.
How odd, yet another Magic Money Tree materialises to benefit a Tory.
Having your very own shower would ensure no one would ever see his reptilian globalist scales ………….
I agree it is a waste of money but please let it be clear it is not taxpayers money but public money. The difference is essential to note when it comes to arguing for public expenditure on important matters.
It’s OUR money – not his. That’s the point.
YOUR BEING PEDANTIC NIGEL JAMES!
ACADEMIC, DONNISH!
Wait until he sees how you spelt “you’re”.
Even more reason to call him Jeremy *unt
