Since 2010, the Conservatives have cut our NHS to the bone. Health spending is at its lowest rate since the mid-1950s and the number of people on waiting lists is expected to soar to 5.5 million in the next two years.
Last winter, we had the worst A&E performance statistics since records began. The Red Cross called it a "humanitarian crisis", as patients lay on trolleys in hospital corridors and people died of treatable illnesses while waiting for ambulances.
Today, the Labour Party has announced it will provide £37 billion in funding for our NHS over the next five years, including adequate funding for IT systems to prevent more horrific cyber security attacks.
By increasing taxes on the wealthiest 5% of people in Britain and reversing cuts to corporation tax, Labour will end the NHS crisis by giving our health service the funding it needs.
This is the most important election ever for our NHS. If the Conservatives get back in power, we may not have free, universal healthcare in five years time. The Conservatives will sell off more and more of our health service to profiteering private companies, who will reach for a patient's purse before they reach for their pulse.
We feel it is our duty as health workers to vote Labour and to urge you to do the same.
The choice at this election could not be clearer: if you care about our NHS, vote Labour.
