Darzi report: Fixing NHS and care must be government's top priority

EMBARGO: 22.30 Wednesday 11th September

Responding to the Darzi report, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said: 

“This report shows the NHS is on its knees after years of the Conservatives driving local health services into the ground.

“Patients are suffering on endless waiting lists, struggling to access the care they desperately need.

“Fixing the NHS is this country’s greatest challenge and the new government must make it their top priority. That must include recruiting more GPs, fixing our crumbling hospitals and crucially tackling the social care crisis that has been ignored for far too long.”
