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 here.

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.
- The Tories say they would scrap Labour’s extended GP opening hours.
- The Tories want to scrap national waiting time targets – meaning waiting times would be allowed to grow and grow and new postcode lotteries would spring up.
- The Tories want to bring back longer working hours for doctors and nurses, putting patient safety at risk.
- The Tories are opposing Labour’s plans for 152 new GP-led health centres across the country, open 8am-8pm seven days a week.
- The Tories have admitted that they would allow local hospitals to go bust.
