SIR – It is well known and documented that the Conservatives have not been in favour of the NHS since its inception, and have taken every opportunity to destroy it piecemeal since 1948.

The current Government under the false guise of, ‘There is a shortage of money’, is blatantly at it again.

It therefore says a lot for David Cameron, when he can stand up in the House of Commons and without a trace of irony state, “There is only one party you can trust on the NHS, and it is the one I lead”.

All I can say is, look out for bulls and china shops.
