The tremendous public response to our NHS action day on Saturday reveals a deep and wide spread anxiety among the public concerning the future of the NHS. As each day it becomes clearer that a large portion of the billions of pounds invested in the NHS have been wasted.

Esther McVey, Wirral West Parliamentary candidate commented, “I have spoken to many people around Wirral West and they realise that what David Cameron said is true, Gordon Brown has taken the heart out of the NHS and replaced it with a computer”

Conservative activists in the major shopping centres of West Kirby, Pensby, Greasby and Upton collected signatures on a petition calling on Gordon Brown to stop his mismanagement of the NHS, which has resulted in deficits approaching £1,277,000,000; 20,000 job losses in NHS hospitals; service cutbacks; and left many of our trainee doctors and nurses out of work.

We want NHS money to go where it is needed; local people put in charge of local NHS services; and short-sighted closures replaced with long-term measures that improve care for patients.

Tell Gordon Brown to stop his mismanagement of the NHS.
