Victoria Mary Atkins (born 22 March 1976)[1] is a British Conservative politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Louth and Horncastle in Lincolnshire since 2015.[6] She served as Secretary of State for Health and Social Care from November 2023 to July 2024. Before her political career, she worked as a barrister specialising in organised crime.[1]
Atkins was appointed Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Safeguarding at the Home Office in November 2017 by Prime Minister Theresa May. Following the formation of the first Johnson ministry in July 2019, she remained in her post. On 16 September 2021, during the cabinet reshuffle, Boris Johnson appointed Atkins Minister of State for Prisons and Probation and Minister for Afghan Resettlement; she oversaw Operation Pitting in the latter role until she was replaced in March 2022. She resigned as Prisons Minister during the July 2022 government crisis, and called on Johnson to resign. After Rishi Sunak became Prime Minister in October 2022, she was appointed Financial Secretary to the Treasury before being promoted to Health Secretary in the November 2023 cabinet reshuffle.
