Health Secretary who reluctantly gave blood? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hancock

I believe this is a double definition.

'health secretary' is the first definition.
(Matt Hancock)

'who reluctantly gave blood?' is the second definition.
(Tony Hancock - famous comedy scene)

(Another definition for hancock that I've seen is " Tony --, English comedian".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
