Health spin doctor joins Asda... The supermarket that backed her £250m anti-obesity drive, Daily Mail.co.uk, 13 November 2011, acc Nov 2011

==Revolving door==
Asda was heavily involved in the DoH’s flagship healthy eating programme, Change4Life.
The £250 million anti-obesity scheme, which Ms Jarvis oversaw, gave money-off vouchers for healthy products that could be redeemed on Asda’s own-brand food.
According to the Daily Mail, Jarvis left the DoH 'amid rumours of infighting as Health Secretary Andrew Lansley attempted to introduce reforms'.
:Last night an Asda spokeswoman said the Cabinet Office had cleared Ms Jarvis’s appointment.
She said: ‘Sian’s appointment has been scrutinised by the business appointments committee in the normal way. It is satisfied there is no conflict of interest and has cleared her. There is a two-year ban on lobbying Ministers that applies to all senior civil servants, which safeguards against any potential conflicts.’
