As the general election date draws closer, the political parties in contention are keen to reassure the public that they are the party to entrust the NHS with.
Labour claim that the NHS is their greatest achievement and pledge their ongoing support for it.
The Conservatives promise that they ‘will never change the idea at the heart of our NHS’.
The LibDems say they will focus on ‘protecting and improving the NHS’..
Each party has outlined its programme for the improvement of the NHS, with some calling for more radical change than others.
• Is the NHS in need of any major changes?
• Will the outcome of the general election make any difference to the NHS anyway?
• Will the parties’ policies on the NHS affect how you vote?
