Mr. Hague if elected plans to remove 500 million from the NHS budget. The plan, use this money to give a tax cut to the people fortunate enough to be able to afford private health care.  His so-called ‘Patient’s Guarantee’ means forcing patients to pay thousands of pounds for operations like cataract removal and hip replacements. After many years of Conservative rule the NHS has been brought to it's knees. Putting all that neglect right is going to take time, here are the first steps taken by Labour.

1. Funding increased to over three times that of the Tory government.
   

2. 100 new hospitals.
   

3. 7,500 more consultants and 2,000 more GPs.
   

4. 6,500 extra therapists.
   

5. 20,000 extra nurses.
   

6. 7,000 extra beds.
   

7. For pensioners free nursing care in nursing homes and new intermediate care.
   

8. 3,000 GP surgeries refurbished or rebuilt.
   

9. 1,000 extra cancer specialists
   

This is only the beginning.
