Protecting & Improving the NHS

We will make it illegal to allow a doctor to

work in the UK for the first time without

passing robust language and competence

tests.

We will ensure that local GPs provide

out-of-hours care.

It's wrong that local hospitals can be

closed without the communities affected

having any real say. We will give people

the power to take control over their local

NHS through elected health boards.

We will integrate health and social care

to give a seamless service, ending bureaucratic

barriers, and saving money to

allow people to stay in their homes for

longer.
