Letter from Steve Webb re NHS
October 30, 2005 9:51 AM
The shadow health secretary has written a letter with regard to a new campaigning website. Your comments on the NHS are welcome.
The letter says -
I am writing to let you know about our new campaigning website http://www.LibDemNHSWatch.com
We have set up this site to listen to the views and concerns of NHS staff, patients and members of the public to help us paint a true picture of the National Health Service.
As Liberal Democrats we believe in the National Health Service and we want to see it prosper. But this also means pointing out where Labour's reforms are harming the NHS. To help improve the NHS we need to hear from patients who have difficulty accessing treatment and from professionals prevented from providing the services the community needs.
Currently, there are few outlets for people to tell their stories or expose issues that point to larger problems. The Government would rather these stories do not see the light of day. We disagree. http://www.LibDemNHSWatch.com will allow us to identify which NHS reforms are working and which are not, which targets distort clinical priorities and which issues those inside the 'Westminster bubble' really need to know about.
Please feel free to contribute any of your own views to this website and also to publicise the site through Focus leaflets and to your friends, family and colleagues who may wish to share their experiences with us.
We look forward to hearing from you via the website.
Yours sincerely,
Steve Webb MP
Lib Dem Shadow Health Secretary
