Stop the NHS Cuts

Kingston NHS is facing its worst budget crisis since health cuts under the last Conservative Government back in the mid-1990s, according to new figures.

We have seen jobs lost at Kingston Hospital and across the local NHS whilst Kingston Primary Care Trust's £20+ million deficit may see further services axed.

Although the extra investment the Labour has put into health has been welcome, the extra cash has been extremely badly mananged.  Too much of the cash has been wasted on targets, bureaucracy and the inefficiency caused by a centralised system directed by Whitehall.

Unfortunately Labour now has an expensive plan to switch people's operations from Kingston to Tooting, which could undermine our hospital even more.  We have to stop these wasteful policies so we can end these health cuts.
