this Nation needs the NHS as it was originally designed
We need the people at the top who can and will rebuild the NHS to the same all embracing standards as those to which it was originally designed, who can take the experiences of what has happened to it in the last 60 years to ensure the same sabotage of our service never happens again.
But it needs the People to believe in it and an Honest Government to reinvent it, and at present we have Neither.

Why is this important?
This is not MY campaign, it is Your campaign.
I am an old man, a product of the past, and of an age where charity and service were taken for granted.
This as a campaign for young people. People whose lives and ambitions are yet to come, and have the wish to live them in health and comfort.
People who can look around themselves and see what's happening, who can look across the Atlantic and see the realities of the system that we are in danger of becoming a carbon copy of, that can look far closer and see some of the tragedies that are already happening close to home with just the small changes that have already occurred, and people also who have the foresight and strength to change what is happening and replace it with something far, far better.
The general condition of the people's health and welfare, has for a variety of reasons medical, political and environmental never been as bad throughout the entire history of the Health Service as it is today. We are starting from a level far lower than at the NHS's original inauguration, and the root causes of this low commencement level will have to be addressed at the same time and speed as the rebuilding of the service to have any chance of a successful outcome.
It will be an uphill struggle. The original inauguration of the NHS took place at a time of great hope and enthusiasm, we had just emerged from a devastating war and were determined to build a better world in the future. The present time is one of doom, gloom and general apathy, where reasons why "not to bother" are far more important than the reasons to succeed.
