Healey: PM breaking his promises on the NHS

John Healey, shadow health secretary, said in response to Andrew Lansley’s statement on the government’s NHS reforms:
“In the middle of confusion, chaos and incompetence, the prime minister has pushed the health secretary out of the bunker to try and tell people what on earth they are doing with the NHS.
“But why is the health secretary here and not the prime minister? After all, we are told he is in charge now.
“It was the prime minister who made it his personal pledge to protect the NHS and to stop top-down re-organisations that had got in the way of patient care. It’s the prime minister who is breaking his promises.”
