Continuing our political series, this article brings you the Opposition's views on the present day NHS. Remembering that they had 17 years in office in which to get it right, this should prove interesting reading. As with the article by Alan Milburn in the May issue, this article contains extracts from a keynote speech made by Liam Fox at the Conservative party conference last October. There have been some changes since then of course, with Frank Dobson no longer the Secretary of State for Health, and the budget announcement of extra spending.

If you're tempted to add your own views, they will be very welcome in Open Forum.
