 | The NHS - not safe with Labour |
 |
This week we heard about the failings at Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
What shocks me is that once again Labour is describing this as an ‘isolated case’ and their response is unacceptably complacent.
We’ve all heard of NHS managers focusing on trying to hit Labour’s targets over and above looking after patients. It is unacceptable that inspectors can then score hospitals as ‘good’ when many patients could tell them that the opposite is in fact true.
That is why a Conservative government will scrap Labour’s targets and instead focus on the quality and results of the treatment that patients receive.
As people across East Lancashire continue to tell us: The NHS is NOT safe in Labour’s hands.
