Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Access to NHS Services.


Access to NHS Services

I was saying that the NHS is safe in the Government’s hands. The Labour party has no equivalent to Cornerstone and, to be fair, neither do the Liberal Democrats. It exists only among Her Majesty’s official Opposition. As we move into the next phase of transformation, we will have created a modern NHS, in which its traditional values of care, compassion and universality remain enshrined, building the confidence of staff and public alike, so that that precious national asset is preserved for future generations.
