Andrew Lansley is at London’s Royal Free Hospital today. However as Camden New Journal reporter Tom Foot notes there is “Only one tv camera allowed in – no written or local press on orders of DoH,” so it’s remarkable that we know about the visit at all. Seemingly Lansley wanted to avoid protesters who were outside both the front and back of the hospital. That seems to have failed, judging by this photo (again from Tom Foot) that shows Lansley being confronted by protesters inside the hospital:
