More Cuts By Labour

Andrew Lansley has condemned new plans to close at least three A&E and maternity units in the East of England.

The closures were announced in Labour's blueprint for the NHS in the East of England, which is the first wave of Lord Darzi's reconfiguration plans for the health system.

Andrew, the Shadow Health Secretary, said the decision to shut down viable and accessible services was "shameful":"There's no doubt that these changes aren't being driven by local communities; they're coming straight from Whitehall as a direct result of Lord Darzi's big top-down review." And he stressed: "We value our local NHS services and don't want to lose them. Labour seem to be getting more and more out-of-touch with that strongly-held feeling."

So the Labour Party the party of the people, the party of the NHS, the party of the Post Office, and what ever else they claim to be still the party of.

They still continue to close more A&E and maternity units, in an age where there is more and more people on this tiny island, we decide to cut more and more services.

That makes sense!

More people less services, but really what does make sense in the Labour Party anymore.

This is a party who campaign in their local areas to stop closures, then when it comes to vote in Parliament they vote for closure.

This is a party who scraped the 10 pence rate in income tax, then um and ahh over things and announced a pre election bribe to the people of Crewe.

How can we be sure that the latest changes are for the better or is this just another announcement which when broke down means people are worse off.

Today they announce several measures which the Conservatives have already announced but don't forget we are a party without substance aren't we?

Time to call an election Mr Brown or have you out lawed that as well in your Starlinist manner?
