The Liberal Democrats have put themselves forward as the party of the NHS and social care.
Sir Ed Davey has said the NHS 'cannot withstand' Labour reforms without more funding. The Liberal Democrat leader, speaking from the party's conference in Brighton, said he is concerned the government is 'talking about reform before investment'. Earlier this week, Sir Keir Starmer said the NHS will not get any more funding without reforming as he laid out a 10-year plan to fix the health service.
Sir Ed said about one million people, pensioners and disabled people would be 'getting care right now' if the Conservatives had not got rid of the 2014 Care Act introduced when they were in coalition with the Lib Dems. The act legislated for many of the recommendations made by the Dilnot Commission on how to deliver a fair, affordable and sustainable funding system for social care.
