Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley MP unveiled \'Portrait of the Artist as High Flyer\' by Hugh Mackinnon on 16th September 2009 at Addenbrooke\'s Hospital in Cambridge.

The portrait, considered one of Mackinnon\'s finest early works, was donated by his family in recognitionf the dedication and commitment displayed by the NHS and in particular the Lysosomal team at Addenbrooke\'s Hospital during the care of the artist\'s twin sons.

Blake and Jake Mackinnon, who were diagnosed with Gauchers disease at the age of 20, were referred to Addenbrooke\'s in their 40s as their condition deteriorated and were placed on Enzyme Replacement Therapy. Sadly Jake died at 58 from unrelated causes.

The large canvas, which was painted between 1960 and 1970, is now on public display at the hospital. Arts Coordinator Damian Hebron said, \"Recent research has shown that art helps patients to relax in hospital. It reduces stress, boosts confidence, and adds to peoples\'sense of wellbeing.\"
