SHADOW health secretary Andy Burnham will ring the alarm bells today over a vicious Con-Dem plot to flog off vital NHS services, including for cancer patients.

In a speech in Manchester Mr Burnham will blow the lid of the coalition’s plan to outsource clinical services before the general election and tie the hands of a future Labour government.

“Contracts are being signed that will run for the five years of the next Parliament and beyond,” he’s set to say.
