Tory NHS plan not fit for purpose
Responding to the Health Foundation's report which criticises the Conservative Government's long term plan for the NHS as being jeopardised by a lack of funding and rising demand, Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Judith Jolly said "It is unsurprising to see more voices joining the criticisms of the Tory Government's supposed 'long term plan' for the NHS. The strategy, which fails to account for the critical staffing shortages in our health service, does not deserve to be seen as a credible proposal let alone be called a 'long term plan'."
