Liz Kendall: Tory NHS plans are "fantasy funding promises"

Today

Available for over a year

Labour is focusing its election campaigning on maternity services, with a manifesto pledge that women in England will receive one-to-one care from midwives during labour. Labour has also pledged an extra two and a half billion pounds a year for the NHS funded by a mansion tax. Liz Kendall, Shadow Minster for Care & Older People, told Today "we will do whatever it takes to get the NHS the money its needs鈥 and was critical of Conservative NHS funding plans. She added: 鈥渨e do not think it is right to make fantasy funding promises鈥 from a Tory party that is quite frankly panicking at the moment because it鈥檚 not got any clear vision for the country or the NHS鈥.
