He has served as Minister of State for Care and Support in the Department of Health from 2012 to 2015 and was Parliamentary Private Secretary to. Nick Clegg in the Conservative-Liberal Democrat Coalition Government.
As Health Minister Norman worked to reform the care system and led the drive to integrate health social care with a greater focus on preventing ill health. He also challenged the NHS to ensure that mental health was treated with the same priority as physical health including the introduction of access and waiting standards in mental health for the first time
