Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary Steve Webb MP

Commenting on David Cameron's speech on health policy, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary Steve Webb MP said "Once again David Cameron has come up with headline grabbing words that lack detail and deliver mixed messages.

"It is difficult to believe that he is committed to full scale reform when only ten months ago he wrote the Conservative manifesto that advocated the introduction of patient passports.

"People will not easily forget the years of damage the Conservatives inflicted on the NHS and will be hard pressed to believe that the Tories have changed more than just their presentation."
