delivering england labour patients simply trust wales
We know, in Wales or in England - you simply can't trust Labour on the NHS. In England, we are delivering for patients while Labour just use the NHS as a political football. We won't let them; we'll always fight for the NHS.
children diet eating effect improve improving jamie meals net number places quite school schools talking trying
Jamie Oliver, quite rightly, was talking about trying to improve the diet of children in schools and improving school meals, but the net effect was the number of children eating school meals in many of these places didn't go up, it went down.
You should be able to choose which hospital you go to.
government
You don't come into government thinking it is going to be easy.
food people simply slash
You can't simply slash the sugar in food; otherwise, people simply won't accept it.
health
We will never privatise the National Health Service.
bill practical promoting steps
The Transparency Bill is something we should all support - practical steps in promoting an open and accountable democracy.
information
Our interaction as patients with the NHS should be on the basis that there's a presumption that all information is shared with us.

It is more important to engage the public positively with choice and competition to everyone than to be directed into a benefit for a minority.
agents britain developed emergency last order publish
It is unacceptable that out of the most developed countries, Britain was one of the last to order anti-viral agents and publish an emergency preparedness plan.
fun issues people
We must not constantly talk about tackling obesity and warning people about the negative consequences of obesity. Instead we must be positive - positive about the fun and benefits to be had from healthy living, trying to get rid of people's excuses for being obese by tackling the issue in a positive way.
decision
No decision about me without me.
fall blood years
Safe care saves lives and saves money. Adverse events like high levels of infection, blood clots or falls in hospital, emergency readmissions and pressure sores cost the NHS billions of pounds every year. There is a serious human cost, too, with patients ending up injured, or even dead. Most are avoidable with the right care.
top-down gps needs
If I'm serious about patients and their GPs being able to have more control of their health care, I can't have a top-down system that imposes restrictions on the services they need.
