Responding to the NHS 10-year plan, former Liberal Democrat Health
Minister said:
“Delivering this ambitious plan is likely to be fatally undermined
by insufficient resources, a staffing crisis and a failure to
address the disastrous situation with social care.
"The Government’s commitment to a new focus on prevention rings
hollow when the very services which help prevent elderly people
ending up in hospital are at breaking point and vital public health
budgets are progressively cut back.
"The Liberal Democrats will continue to demand that the Government
works with other parties to achieve a genuine long term,
sustainable settlement for the NHS and social care.
"We will keep making the case for a new, dedicated NHS and care tax
to guarantee a modern, effective and efficient NHS and care
system which will be there for our loved ones when they need it."
