 | | Patients are being promised choice about where they are treated |
All the main parties are offering patients a choice of where and how they have their treatment. Labour promises a choice of four or five hospitals by next year while the Liberal Democrats are offering a choice of any consultant, if cost effective. The Tories say they will give the choice of any hospital with the option of 50% of the NHS cost to go private - a policy Labour says will cost �1.2bn. GPs will be pivotal in helping patients navigate the NHS and make their choice.
