Rosie Wrighting, the Labour MP for Kettering, has resigned from her position as Parliamentary Private Secretary to former Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
The resignation marks a shift in the support structure for the former health chief. While the specific reasons for the departure were not disclosed, the move alters the administrative alignment within the Labour party's leadership circles.
Wrighting served as a private secretary to Streeting since September [1]. In this role, she acted as an assistant, providing a critical link between the Health Secretary and other members of Parliament.
The Parliamentary Private Secretary is an unpaid role that allows MPs to gain government experience while supporting a senior minister. By stepping down, Wrighting returns her full focus to her constituency in Kettering and her duties as a Member of Parliament.
No official statement regarding the cause of the resignation was provided in the reports. The transition occurs as the Department of Health continues to navigate its policy objectives in London.
Wrighting's tenure in the role was brief, spanning from the previous September until this week [1]. The vacancy created by her departure will likely require a new appointment to maintain the communication channel between the former secretary and the backbenches.

The departure of a Parliamentary Private Secretary often signals a change in political alignment or a strategic shift in an MP's career focus. Because the role is a primary bridge between ministers and the wider party, Wrighting's exit may reflect internal reorganizations or a desire to prioritize constituency work over departmental administration.
