Hunt couldn't understand Alistair Campbell having depression because had "a great life".
That is so unbelievably ignorant and insensitive.

Could you link to the actual article instead of a two year old one?

It's not new news, jeremy.  Here's a link to a Guardian article where Jeremy Hunt is quoted:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/apr/01/mental-health-election-issue-nick-clegg

The most recent news, that I remember, is that towards the end of last year Mr Hunt reneged on his promise to put so much money into the Mental Services.  It really is the poor relation of the Health Service;  depressed people are only offered drugs, if one drug doesn't suit, another one is tried.  When drug therapy is exhausted patient is discharged with advice to go to their GP for a new referral if they need it in the future (which would lead to more medication).

Jeremy Hunt has absolutely no idea what it is like to have mental health problems, not that I would wish that on him, but he needs to do some serious research.

Well that was the article that underlined his hypocrisy on A&E, given his statement s in the HoC on use of it today were one of the main points of news,  I thought that wasn't needed but here is that link.

As to the depression comment, it was on interview on 5live I listened to.
