Much of Ms Coffey’s attention will be consumed by the NHS backlog, with 6.7 million Britons waiting for routine hospital treatment
n the space of a few days, Thérèse Coffey has become the second most powerful woman in Westminster. Having taken over the health brief and become second-in-command to her longtime ally Liz Truss, the current Work and Pensions Secretary will face the most difficult challenge of her political career as she seeks to contain a growing crisis in the NHS.
Much of Ms Coffey’s attention will be consumed by the NHS backlog, with 6.7 million Britons waiting for routine hospital treatment. Record waits in A&E and dismal ambulance response times caused by a broken social care system will also feature high on her to-do list, as voters grow impatient with the Tories’ management of the health service.
As she prepares to take the reins at the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), the Standard charts the rise of Thérèse Coffey.
Her political career
Born in 1971 in Lancashire, Ms Coffey attended St Edward’s College in Liverpool and went on to study Chemistry at Oxford. After graduation, she worked in a number of financial roles for confectionary giant Mars and as a finance manager at the BBC.
