The NHS budget has risen by £7.3 billion in real terms since 2010. Just 2% of the overall NHS budget has been privatised in the same period. There are 9,000 more doctors, 7,000 more nurses and 2,000 more midwives.
So when Conservatives say we treasure the NHS and will protect it, you can look at our record and know we are telling the truth.
So we are proud that today it has been announced that a new Conservative Government will meet the £8 billion extra funding called for in a report by NHS Chief Executive Simon Stevens last October.
How will we pay for it? The same way we’ve paid for the extra £7.3 billion we have already added to the NHS budget – the fastest growing economy in the world, underpinned by a long term plan that is working.
Labour mean well and care about the NHS – but they have no idea how to run a successful economy to allow the NHS to pay its way.
Ed Miliband would be a well-meaning and sincere complete and utter disaster for our NHS.
