Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper has revealed she was told she had four days to live but the NHS saved her. Speaking to the party's conference in Brighton, Ms Cooper also told for the first time how the Lib Dems were on the brink of extinction in 2020. She said the NHS gave her life back, which is why the party is determined to turn the health service around.
' She said she often wonders what is happening to people who are suffering the same symptoms now and questioned if they can even get a GP appointment, or if they have to wait a long time for a scan or are stuck in a hospital corridor. The Lib Dems are demanding the government increase funding for the NHS, including GP services, when the chancellor announces her autumn budget on 30 October.
