Well, at least the current Government is doing something to ensure we get an NHS that can operate 24/7. Labour were totally incompetent in their handling of GP contracts, the Mid Staffs hospital crisis, expensive PFI contracts, etc. The NHS was certainly not safe in their hands because had this bad management continued, they would no longer be able to function. The money would simply have run out.

The Conservatives are now working to give us a better service for a lot less. Whatever you think of the Tories, you cannot justifiably criticise them for that.

Incidentally, private sector involvement in the NHS actually increased in the 13 years of Labour government!
