Are local Lib Dems against the trashing of the NHS?
As a concerned voter I would like to know what Lib Dem councillors in Hull and the East Riding, plus Diana Wallis, the Lib Dem local MEP, have to say about the Health And Social Care Bill that the Government they back is currently ramming through Parliament.
This is despite the specific and forensic opposition being provided by numerous professional bodies such as the Royal College of GPs and the British Medical Association.
This is what the GPs' professional body had to say last week: "We cannot sit back. Instead, we must once again raise our concerns in the hope that the Prime Minister will halt this damaging, unnecessary and expensive reorganisation which, in our view, risks leaving the poorest and most vulnerable in society to bear the brunt."
It is vitally important that those voters who chose to cast their much valued ballot for the Lib Dems in the 2010 General Election and 2011 local elections are absolutely clear where individual Lib Dems elected to serve their constituents stand on this massive upheaval to the NHS, which has attracted such outrage from the very people who know how the NHS works – the professionals and the patients.
Are the local Lib Dems against the Tory Government's trashing of the NHS? If so, their silence is deafening.
The alternative is that they support the Bill and are too ashamed to say so in public.
Jack Davies, Hull.
