The NHS has been utterly transformed from the most efficient healthcare system in the world to a system that is struggling to meet demand. It is simply staggering that any politician would suggest that the cuts and privatisation that have destroyed the NHS are some sort of progressive solution to its problems.
Promises around the integration of health and social care have been made and trialled before and led to services and staffing being moved, merged, and reduced.
