I was interested to read in the Daily Mail that a poll of general practioners found that 48% intended to vote for the Conservatives compared to just 23% for Labour. The survey of 301 GPs by GP magazine also found that 47% of doctors felt that Labour’s performance had been poor or very poor.
In February, an online poll of 3000 doctors found the general consensus that the billions of pounds injected into the service since 2002 have not been well spent and services have not improved.
And in April, a similar survey revealed only 7 per cent of hospital doctors would vote Labour at the next election, compared to 43 per cent for the Tories and 15 per cent for the Lib Dems.
“Labour are no longer the party of the NHS” -Shadow Health Secretary Andrew Lansley
This is a very interesting read but surely one cannot think of the Daily Mail as a reliable source for statistics.
