David Cameron on the NHS

Yesterday I joined several Bury Councillors and supporters at Stretford to hear David Cameron deliver his first speech of 2008. As this year will mark the 60th year of the foundation of the National Health Service it was very appropriate that the Leader spoke on the NHS. He explained at some length how the next Conservative Government will not only be 100% committed to the NHS but also how we will seek to strengthen and improve it.
We will empower patients and healthcare professionals. The dozens of top down targets that exist at present will be streamlined with the emphasis being on quality of outcomes.
