Cameron's NHS Betrayal

Before the general election David Cameron said he could be trusted with our NHS. He said he would protect the frontline at all costs.

But we now know that was not true.

When he still needed your vote, David Cameron promised no more top-down reorganisations of the health service, and he wrote that pledge into the Coalition Agreement in black and white. But he did not stand by his promise.

As soon as David Cameron got into Government he launched the biggest top-down reorganisation in the history of the NHS. Independent estimates put the cost of this wasteful exercise at up to three billion pounds.

He did not keep his promise to protect the frontline either. He has laid off more than four thousand nurses since he got into Downing Street. And thousands more are set to lose their jobs in the coming years.

Before the election, David Cameron visited hospitals up and down the country promising not to close services. When he needed your vote that's what he told you. But now services he pledged to keep open are set to shut down.

The NHS was created in Britain. It is something to be proud of, to protect. A service that should be there for all of us when we need it. And it is under threat.

Waiting times are going up whilst nurses are laid off.

And the promises David Cameron made to get elected are being broken one after another.
