David Cameron describes himself as a "late bloomer" when it comes to support for Britain's National Health system. His experience with his son Ivan's disability, he says, has deeply affected his beliefs. He also credits Ivan with helping to form his strong conviction about the importance of government support for families. Cameron sponsored legislation promoting extended parental leaves, explaining "We’re not going to solve the problems of obesity, drugs, alcohol or educational underperformance unless we help families to do their great work."Guardian: How Ivan Cameron Influenced His Father's Politics (February 25, 2009) The Sun: This is Ivan (March 14, 2008)
