A scandal has broken out in the UK healthcare system. Industry chief Matt Hancock is also involved.
The fact is that one of the local tabloids published racy photographs.
In these photos, the minister is captured kissing and hugging his assistant in his own office, Internet sources report citing British media.
The local press continues to emphasize that the behavior of the head of the Ministry of Health was contrary to the rules in force at that time in the country regarding quarantine in connection with the coronavirus pandemic.
Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that Hancock, 42, is married. True, the public is still more outraged by his violation of quarantine restrictions.
This can also be understood because the minister has repeatedly on television and through other media called on his compatriots to strictly adhere to the rules related to the spread of COVID-19.
After the scandal broke, Matt Hancock resigned, sending a corresponding statement to Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
In a statement, the head of the Ministry of Health admitted that he had broken the rules that apply to all Britons and “let them down”.
The latter gave the go-ahead for the minister’s dismissal, but noted that his contribution “to the public service is far from exhausted.”
