Graham Jones MP: Politics of a different kind...

You may have seen the recent launch of the NHS Check website (www.labour.org.uk/yournhs), that allows staff and patients who are concerned about what’s happening in the NHS to get in touch with the party and tell us what they are seeing in hospitals, clinics and GP surgeries.

NHS Check is the next phase of Labour's campaign to hold the Government to account for the chaos it is inflicting on the NHS. The gap between Andrew Lansley's words and the reality on the ground is getting wider with every day that passes and we want to hear the real story about what's happening in the NHS from staff and patients.

We have already received thousands of examples of people’s experiences of the NHS, many of which highlight problems around decommissioning and restriction of NHS treatments. We are hearing of treatments being rationed or withdrawn altogether and patients being asked to pay for services that were previously freely available.

The Labour Party are looking to gather examples where treatments are being restricted or decommissioned as part of our campaign to stand up for the NHS.
