Ive gone back in history Much more around but here is one for starters After 10 years of labour under tony blair Tory leader David Cameron, campaigning in Glasgow, said:"At a time when community hospitals are threatened with closure, when A&E units are being downgraded, when maternity units are threatened with closure, when out-of-hours doctors' service is being removed in many parts of the country, where it's almost impossible to find an NHS dentist in many parts of the country - I think he should be apologising rather than boasting." Liberal Democrat health spokesman Norman Lamb said: 'Labour has presided over 10 years of wasted opportunities in the NHS."Ambulance staff numbers have fallen by over 10 per cent in this past year alone, while money has been diverted from mental health services to plug deficits."After 10 years, it's less a case of 'job done' than "where has all the money gone?".Royal College of Nursing general secretary Peter Carter said: "There is a sense of crisis in the NHS. The deficits issue has really been quite brutal."Who would have envisaged that 10 years on we would be talking about redundancies and that thousands of posts have been frozen?"He added: "I have never seen so much money come into the NHS. But in many areas I have never seen so much money wasted. It is a tragedy for the public, for the NHS, and for this government."And British Medical Association chair Jim Johnson said: "Doctors are angry and frustrated as are nurses and the rest of the workforce."
