Given the fact that New Labour invested heavily in the NHS which saw big improvements, you'd think he might suggest something more along the lines of investing heavily in the NHS. It's not rocket surgery.
Oh indeed. New Labour's handling of the NHS wasn't perfect but they brought waiting times down and things just worked better. The queues I've seen snaking out the back of A&E looks more like something from a warzone. An old.guy from my local died after a 7 hour wait after having a stroke, at the times the queues were longer than 24 hours.
