Andy Burnham, Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, commenting on Nick de Bois’ admission on R5 today that David Cameron has let his constituents down over the closure of the A&E at Chase Farm Hospital, said:

“Even the Tories are admitting that David Cameron let people down when he broke his promises on the NHS.

“David Cameron posed with a picture pledging to save the A&E at Chase Farm, then closed it. The promises he made when it was closed - of an urgent care centre and better GP services - have not been honoured.

“He cannot be trusted on the NHS. Labour will honour the promises given to people in Enfield.

“On David Cameron’s watch the NHS has descended in to crisis, with growing waiting times and staff shortages.

“After five years broken promises, working people cannot afford five more years of David Cameron.”
