Nick Ferrari shreds Health Secretary for spending taxpayers cash on £44k bathroom
The private bathroom was commissioned by the Health Secretary in the department’s new offices in Victoria, south London according to the Sun. It is also fitted with a designer lavatory, power shower and sensor-activated lights. Speaking on LBC, the presenter fired into Mr Hunt in a furious tirade. He said: “Seriously if this was a private company, I don't give a damn. Spend as much money as you like.

“If you're making the money, you can have whatever you like. “You can have water features, you can have staff, you can have Thai masseuses waiting to look after cyclists and when they come in. I don't care. “But this is our money. “And what is not being disputed is that this bathroom, whether it is used solely by Jeremy Hunt, whether he ordered it, whether a half the team a Tour de France can get in there, it's 44 thousand bloody quid, which is ridiculous.

“Why do we need to design a toilet, wash basin, vanity unit and shower? Why do we need lighting, this is lighting system that has cost another £11,000. £10,000-worth of plumbing. What the hell is going on there? £44,000!” A Department of Health spokesman said: “The Health Secretary has not approved any costs relating to the department's new building, but has requested facilities for all cyclists and runners in line with those the department currently has.” The Health Secretary also took to Twitter to deny the reports insisting the new bathroom was not for his own use.
