I think in fairness,I even credited John Major in trying to turn the tide from the disastrous treatment it got from the later years of Thatcher's govt:
This PM, promised, in order to win over voters wavering as to the NHS,that he would not under his govt; have any top down re-organisation of same.
Then he did the biggest one, and it would have actually been bigger had the Lib Dems not insisted in some elements of it being shelved,beofre they supported what was left, which was more than bad enough.
It is not the Conservatives, people are getting at, I certainly am not, I am getting at this Conservative govt; and this PM,David Cameron who has lied as to his intentions for the NHS already.
So when he says he will put 8 billion,just like that,all of a sudden,like being sprung from a magician's hat,sorry but to me it is as false and misleading in my view as his no top down re-organisation promise.
I know myself,there are loads of Conservative MPs who care about the NHS and many who were even stunned this re-organisation ever took place too.
They need to find their voice and make sure they get rid of this PM and leader,if he is defeated in May, as soon as possible and put in place a man whose word may actually mean something as to the NHS.
Then everyone will be able to think that no threat will be posed to the NHS again from the Conservative party.
That is in no way the case for me however with this particular PM and the cabinet he has chosen who are dictating policy too.
It is not the Conservatives overall themselves, who are a threat to the NHS.
It is the far reaching and as yet, unfinished original reforms of former Health secretary Andrew Lansley,which are still being pushed into the NHS, by this PM, who has shown his word is meaningless as to the NHS by his lying about it and his intentions as to it in 2010.

See, I trust David Cameron and the Conservatives to look after the welfare of the UK much more than I do Ed and the labour party. I don't see David Cameron as a liar at all, and I think throwing such emotive slurs in his direction at every possible opportunity smacks of desperation
