Paul Burstow writes… Labour shouldn’t play party politics with the NHS
March 17, 2011 10:26 AM
• [Mar 16] Paul Burstow writes: ON Saturday I gave a guarantee to every party member that I, along with other Liberal Democrat members of the Government would listen to every word that you had to say. I completely stand by that. If there are ways in which we can amend the Health and Social Care Bill then we will work to do it. But what we won't do is to allow our Spring Conference to be hijacked and used as a political tool by Labour. And that's exactly what they tried to do today.
. . The creation of the NHS is a cherished part of the liberal story. It was a liberal, working in a Coalition, who first imagined the NHS and its values of healthcare available to all, free at point of delivery, based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Liberal Democrats in this Coalition will continue to listen, but also to act on your concerns to ensure that the future of the NHS continues to be a liberal story.
