The NHS is looked after better under Labour governments, because they believe in it. It never has been, and never will be perfect, but it’s a fact that patient satisfaction improves and targets are better met under Labour governments.
This is worth a read from an unbiased source.

My husband worked for the NHS for over 50 years so we have experience of lots of different types of government.

The NHS has been used as a political football for years by all shades of government.

It isn't only this government though is it. It is successive governments.

Like the Tory government before this one, and the coalition before that? Quite right! they none of them invested properly and all had privatisation plans, with quite a few MPs who have interests in private health care providers.
The NHS has never been safe in Tory hands.

But this party has been in power for what feels like for ever 12 years, kittylester, so could have gone a long way to sorting the NHS out instead of neglecting it.

Good to see it confirmed, isn't it? No longer the province of whingers/ anti-brexiteers/ the loony left ( delete as applicable).

We should have known what they would do though it is hardly a surprise.

It is as we know already but now been officially confirmed.

The NHS is failing because of “government neglect”

I prefer “government policy”

How dare they.

No one voted for this. Nowhere does it say in their manifesto.
