When Labour inherited it from the Tories in 1997, the NHS was on its knees. Years of neglect were reflected in crumbling hospitals, a severe lack of doctors, nurses and equipment and long and growing waiting lists.
Labour’s investment and modernisation saved the NHS.
Now the Tories say they’ve changed, but behind the slick salesmanship their plans would take the NHS back to the 1980s.

By 2009 the majority of GP surgeries will be open for at least one evening or weekend session every week. And we’re opening 152 new GP-led health centres across the country, to be open 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. We know illness isn’t nine-to-five, so your health care shouldn’t be nine-to-five either!
The Tories say they would scrap these extended GP opening hours. And they oppose our investment in new health centres. Labour understands the need for hard working families to have access to healthcare at the time they need it. The Tories just don’t get it.
Send a message to David Cameron that you won’t stand for his cuts in GP opening hours by signing the petition below.
