'former politician's aide on call for nhs treatment' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'aide on call for nhs treatment' is the wordplay.
'treatment' is an anagram indicator (letters treated or processed differently).
'aide'+'on'+'call'+'for'+'nhs'='aideoncallfornhs'
'aideoncallfornhs' anagrammed gives 'FRANCOIS HOLLANDE'.
