The two faces of David Cameron on the NHS

The Tories today launched what they called a “draft NHS manifesto” and told a press conference that a 1,000 poster sites will sell the message that the NHS is their “top priority”, only for David Cameron to be forced to admit that that still didn’t mean that the NHS would be safe from cuts if he became Prime Minister.

A few weeks ago however it was a much more private affair when David Cameron had a secret meeting with an anti-NHS group.

It also wasn’t that long ago that the man who today claimed to be the NHS’s friend decided to give a promotion to Dan Hannan MEP, after he called the NHS “a 60-year mistake”.

Perhaps it was the fear that his hidden face might be exposed which caused Cameron to cut and run after just six questions from the assembled journalists?
