I see you are carrying on Ed Miliband's tactic to 'weaponise the NHS'! This is a truly pathetic argument.

My point is, it's not 'Jeremy Hunt's mess'. He is not responsible for the elevated level of people using the NHS, for example.

The problems with the NHS are not altogether new and the current model is unsustainable. You do not acknowledge the way in which the NHS has been made less bureaucratic (with the abolition of the expensive Primary Care Trusts), the investment put in to train up new doctors (that will take a full decade from when this increase was implemented to come through), the changes that are being implemented to increase the hours of opening of doctor's surgeries, and so on.

Unfortunately, the NHS is so unwieldy that it takes forever to turn the ship around, but turn it will. And let's not forget that when the Coalition Government came to power, Labour said it would be reckless to put more money into the NHS.

So it might be worth a thought to consider what the state of the NHS would be now had Labour got in.
