People might have said we were scaremongering. But here we are: the Competition Commission is intervening, for the first time, in the NHS, to block the sensible collaboration between two NHS hospitals. They can no longer deny it, it’s absolutely clear.
The National Health Service is safe with us. The principle of adequate healthcare should be provided for all regardless of ability to pay must be the function of any arrangements for financing the NHS. We stand by that.
Let's make it clear: the Conservative Party has no plans for new NHS charges.
It's become unfashionable to celebrate political achievement, and Labour achievement even less so. And it's positively uncouth to be proud of something that this Labour government is doing. So, slam me for saying so, but I'm really proud of the NHS.
One of the virtues of the NHS... it doesn't worry you about money at the moment when you're least capable of doing anything about it.
I am romantic about the NHS. I love it.
The present system of protecting NHS patients was a bit of a shambles.
If your brain's not right they have good people at the NHS to help you fix it and talk to and counselling to calm you down and to focus you.
No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
The NHS will last as long as there are folk left with faith to fight for it
