Cameron and Clegg are out of touch on the NHS

  David Cameron said the NHS was safe under the Tories, but he and his out of touch Government are taking it backwards.

Background

David Cameron is wasting billions on a damaging NHS reorganisation – opposed by patients, nurses and doctors - that will do nothing for patient care and which he promised wouldn’t happen.

There are already 4,000 fewer nurses since the General Election with the number set to fall by 6,000 by the end of this Parliament. More people have waited longer for treatment, longer for tests and longer in A&E.

Instead of wasting billions on a damaging and unnecessary reorganisation Labour would save this money and protect 6,000 nurses jobs. We would put patients first, protect the frontline and support the right kind of reforms needed to address the long-term challenges of the NHS.
