MP celebrates NHS at 60

John Battle MP joins Alan Johnson to thank staff and look to the future.

Celebrating the 60th anniversary John Battle MP said:

" I really do believe the NHS is one of our country's greatest achievements. A service that is available to all based on need - not ability to pay.
  
"On 5 July we should take time to say thank you to the wonderful staff who look after us when we need care and attention.

"Sixty years since we founded it, Labour is changing the NHS. Our mission is to make the NHS a more personal health service, fitted to the needs of families and focused on preventing ill health as well as curing it.”
