Cameron has form on failing to honour pre-Election pledges on the NHS - Andy Burnham
Andy Burnham MP, Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, responding to David Cameron’s speech, said:
“David Cameron has form on failing to honour pre-Election pledges on the NHS, so we should take this repeated promise of a seven-day NHS with a large pinch of salt.
“In 2010, the Conservatives promised seven-day GP opening but failed to deliver it. In fact, for most people, it has got harder to get a GP appointment on David Cameron’s watch. Patients deserve better.
“Over recent years, David Cameron has overseen a crisis of morale within GPs. With many GPs retiring and too few in training, there’s a risk things may get even worse.
“This year, the NHS is facing a huge financial deficit. David Cameron must produce a credible and funded plan to stop things getting worse before people will believe his promises of improvements.”
He’ll probably sit back and let everything fall apart, then sell it off on the cheap.
