From Poulter (a psychiatrist and former Health Minister) in the Graun:
I can well remember when I first qualified as a doctor and began working in the NHS in 2006. At the time, patient care had been radically improved and transformed by Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s
Labourgovernments, following many years of Conservative neglect….
I also believe that, thanks to
Keir Starmer, Labour has changed fundamentally. The Labour party of 2019 – roundly rejected by the British people – has been consigned to history. With Starmer’s leadership, the party understands that strong public services – and particularly a strong NHS – must be built on the bedrock of a strong economy. The Labour party is now a serious party of government, and it’s one in which I and the British public can put our trust.….
It is abundantly clear to me that the Labour party alone has the will and the trust to restore and reform the NHS. That’s why we need a Labour government, and why I believe Keir Starmer must lead that government as our next prime minister.
