young people trying to shock and having no idea of the subject they are talking about.
Exactly sodapop. Attention-seeking idiots. I can imagine they have been scorned by their peers, of all political persuasions.
As Theresa May said in her conference speech,
The NHS is a service that is there for everyone; free at the point of use; with care based always on clinical need, never the ability to pay
These principles are in our country’s DNA.And Conservatives will always uphold them
Indeed, Conservatives have looked after our NHS for most of its life
And this year we gave the NHS a seventieth birthday present to be proud of: the biggest cash boost in its history
An extra £394 million every single week
And in return, the NHS will produce a new long-term plan to make sure every penny makes a difference on the front line
So, next time you hear someone say that the Tories don’t care about the NHS, tell them about that extra funding
Tell them about the Conservative MPs who work in the NHS in their spare time
Tell them about the Tory Prime Minister who can only do her job thanks to the wonderful staff of her local NHS trust, who help her manage her diabetes
Tell them about our Housing Secretary, James Brokenshire. Last year James officially opened the new Guy’s Cancer Centre at Queen Mary’s Hospital in his constituency
A few months later he was a patient.The outstanding NHS care he received helped him recover, and now he is back serving in the Cabinet
Cancer can strike any of us at any time
Half of us will be diagnosed with cancer. All of us know someone who has been.
Survival rates are increasing, but we are lagging behind other countries.
So today I can announce a new Cancer Strategy, funded through our 70th birthday investment, will form a central part of our long-term plan for the NHS.
The key to boosting your chance of surviving cancer is early diagnosis. Five-year survival rates for bowel cancer are over 90% if caught early, but less than 10% if diagnosed late
Through our Cancer Strategy, we will increase the early detection rate from one-in-two today, to-three-in four by 2028.
We will do it by lowering the age at which we screen for bowel cancer from 60 to 50
By investing in the very latest scanners
And by building more Rapid Diagnostic Centres – one stop-shops that help people get treatment quicker
This will be a step-change in how we diagnose cancer
It will mean that by 2028, 55,000 more people will be alive five years after their diagnosis compared to today. Every life saved means precious extra years with friends and family
Well said TM.
It sounds to me like we have a Conservative government proud of our NHS and investing in it too.
Those silly young fools will hopefully grow up to appreciate their T shirt jape was not their finest hour.
