David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative party in the United Kingdom has launched their bid to protect and reform the NHS & Dentistry in the UK.
Cameron is claiming ‘the Tories are the party of the NHS’.

The Tories have laid out a 20 point plan aimed at rejuvenating the flailing NHS. Nice ideas, but will any of these proposed policies see the light of day or get acted on?
First the Conservatives must gain power this year to effect changes to the UK’s Health & Dentistry systems.
Here is their propsed 20 point NHS plan:

1. Scrap hospital targets

2. Give patients detailed information about the performance of doctors, hospitals and GPs.

3. People allowed to choose where they are treated

4. More private and voluntary providers in NHS

5. GPs’ pay linked to their performance and results

6. Cut cost of NHS administration by a third

7. Independent NHS board to manage the health service

8. Hospitals will lose money if patients contract MRSA

9. End mixed-sex accommodation

10. Drug companies paid according to effectiveness of treatments

11. New hotline for urgent care to run alongside 999

12. New maternity system giving mothers more choice

13. Every 5 year old given a dental check up as part of overhaul of NHS Dental Service

14. Fines for those missing dentist appointments

15. New drive to help the mentally-ill

16. Department of Health turned into Department of Public Health

17. More funding for poorest areas to tackle health inequalities

18. £10 million a year to support hospices caring for children

19. Single budget for each person suffering from chronic illnesses to cover their health and social care

20. Everyone can protect their homes from being sold to fund residential care by paying a one-off insurance premium of £8,000 when they retire.
