Stuart's NHS at 60 survey

Queen Mary's Hospital

On July 5th 1948 Labour Health Secretary Aneurin Bevan launched the National Health Service.

To many - including me - the NHS is Labour's greatest achievement.

Now, 60 years on, our Labour government continues to improve our local NHS: rebuilding Queen Mary's Hospital in Roehampton; cutting waiting times; setting up NHS Direct; drawing up plans to return provision of health service at Putney Hospital, and much more.

If you value your NHS please spare a few minutes to tell me what you think by completing the survey opposite.

Yes
No

The Labour Government also wants to set up new clinics based on GP practices but also offering, for example, dentist provision, wider nursing and physical therapy services and minor operations so that you don't always have to be referred to a hospital and can be treated closer to home. Do you think plans for these so-called polyclinics are worth considering?

Yes
No
Don't know
