A&E Departments Failing Due to Lack of Funding

The NHS is heading towards a crisis over A&E waiting times as the percentage of people waiting four or more hours to see an emergency doctor has risen to over 4%, the highest in a decade. Cuts to NHS spending has hit the service hard, with more cuts ahead it is unlikely to get better any time soon. (So much for Cameron's campaign slogan "I'll cut the deficit, not the NHS"). Leaked emails reveal that in an effort to help ailing A&Es Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, had planned to plough an extra £300 million - £400 million into the service. According to the emails it had to be abandoned due to problems financing it. The government has denied that Hunt ever proposed such a scheme. Naturally I don't believe the government, especially Hunt, we should all remember how dishonest he was about his relationship with News Corp and Rupert Murdoch!

This government has proven time and time again that they can't be trusted with the NHS, come 2015 we should vote them out of office, if only to protect the sacred cow of British politics.
