Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the NHS, Hazel Blears, MP
for Salford, said:
"One of the main reasons I wanted to be the MP for Salford was
to fight for the NHS in our area. I believe it 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, we are 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.
"As your MP I can give you this guarantee. I will always
fight to improve the NHS in Salford and work to ensure that it is
fit for modern life.”
