Here's Polly Toynbee on the relatively recent history of the #NHS:
'One reason why the NHS will survive (even if it takes years to recover) is this perfect political exhibition of the consequences of 13 years under Labour followed by 13 years under Tory prime ministers.... Labour has a history of leaving the NHS better, and the Tories of damaging it.... These historic facts are now so obvious that voters may take many years to trust the Tories again'!
