Labour reformers like Ara Darzi & Alan Milburn achieved great things for patients. Shame that Ed & Andy now want to turn back the clock.
Odd that Milburn's role in this seems to have been forgotten completely and it's Burnham that gets a kicking for it despite the fact that he was nowhere the DoH at the time.
I noticed Johnson didn't get put in the frame very much either. Though to be fair don't know how much he contributed to it, but he was actually in charge at time.
