Andrew Gwynne MP, Labour’s Shadow Health Minister, responding to a report from the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges on NHS waste, said:

“The main reason why NHS finances are in such a fragile financial position is because of David Cameron’s disastrous decision to break his promise of ‘no top-down re-organisation’. It turned the NHS upside down and cost a staggering £3 billion while patient care is going backwards. It is proof you can’t trust the Tories with the NHS.”
