The Liberal Democrats have a special website dedicated to the NHS - libdemnhswatch.com - to help paint a true picture of the National Health Service.

The website is designed to hear feedback and concerns from thousands of patients and medical professionals.

Launching the NHS whistleblower site, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, Steve Webb MP said:

"This website will help improve the NHS. It is a website for patients who have difficulty accessing treatment and for professionals prevented from providing the services the community needs.

"Currently, there are few outlets for people to tell their stories or expose issues that point to larger problems. The Government would rather that these stories do not see the light of day. We disagree.

"It will allow us to identify which NHS reforms are working, which targets distort clinical priorities and which funding and IT issues those inside the ‘Westminster bubble’ really need to know about."
