Innovation in Heath Care : Services, Quality, Outcomes

Labour will repeal the Tories’ Health and Social Care Act to put the right values back at the heart of the health service: co-operation and collaboration, not competition and privatisation.

  • Urgent & emergency care (incl. out-of hours)
  • Community health care

High Quality

Improved Outcomes
