Local Lib Dems Fight for NHS

August 27, 2011 6:20 PM

The Liberal Democrats in Government have put the brakes on plans to reshape the NHS.

They forced a two month period to allow major changes to the plans to ensure they bring real improvements to patients.

These changes should include tough rules to stop private companies cherry picking services and give more say to patients and professionals in how the NHS works.

Horndean's Lib Dem County Cllr Sam Darragh said, "This really shows the difference the Lib Dems are making in Government."

"We want to improve the NHS by cutting bureaucracy and by giving more power to patients, doctors and nurses. The Lib Dems will ensure the NHS continues
to be free for all and one of our country's proudest achievements."
