Royal College of Paediatrics call to withdraw Health Bill shows Cameron losing argument - Burnham

23 February 2012

Andy BurnhamAndy Burnham MP, Labour's Shadow Health Secretary, said in response to the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health calling on the Government to withdraw the Health Bill:

"This week things have gone from bad to worse for the Prime Minister. Just days after inviting the Royal College to his Downing Street charm offensive they deliver an emphatic rejection of his Health Bill.

"It is a clear illustration of how he is losing the argument and any residual support he may claim is ebbing away.

"Despite David Cameron's protestations, health professionals can see his Bill for what it is - a privatisation plan for the NHS.

"It is now time for him to be honest with the country and admit he has lost the argument and drop his Bill."
