Even the tales of his poor deceased son and their subsequent marital problems appear geared towards some last minute sympathy vote, I hate saying that but that's how it's coming across to me.

I 100% sympathise with the Camerons as to their son, that must have been a really horrible and emotionally testing time for them.
I have no doubt he is a caring husband and a really good Father.

However,it does irk me a little when they use the child as an example as to how they regard the NHS and how wonderful they say it was at the time for their son, which I have no doubt it was too.

Had that resulted in full protection and more investment in the NHS from his govt; once he got power, then that would have been commendable.
Since once getting power he turned the NHS almost upside down with one of the biggest re-organisations of it, well that doesn't inspire me to believe he had much regard for it in reality.

Added to that,I think now of the parents with children who have special needs and disabililties 'now',who since this govt; came to power have seen appointments put back,operations put back and even cancelled,plus lengthy delays as to some relevant treatments too.

Despite all Cameron says in public as to the NHS, he has shown scant regard for those parents,waiting too for their own children to get what they really need from the NHS.
