It's a rather negative spin on it. If you look at the investment in Health Services across Europe we are still not near the levels of, say, France and that's after Labour poured vastly more money in. Labour may have taken one extreme in their spending but it seems the old Tories took the other extreme in their lack of spending.
Besides I don't think that's the case anymore. Labour know, admit it or not, that cuts need to be made in some places and the Tories know that the NHS must be well-funded and supported otherwise they will lose public support.
I don't much will change regardless of who will win (although Labour may well be paralysed and unable to do anything if they win).
