He was elected MP at the 2010 general election with 24,312 votes, 13,050 votes ahead of the Liberal Democrat candidate Belinda Brooks-Gordon.

Hancock's tenure as health secretary was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which he played a prominent role in the UK government's response to.

Following this controversy, Hancock resigned as health secretary and returned to the backbenches.

He was succeeded by Sajid Javid.
