Ed Davey pays tribute to NHS on 75th anniversary

5 Jul 2023

Celebrating the 75th birthday of the NHS, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said:

"With parents who passed away when I was young, looking after my Gran, now caring for my disabled son, throughout my life the NHS has been there. Often through really tough times and the more joyful birth of my children.

"I am fiercely proud that it remains one of the most iconic services we have in the UK free to everyone.

"The best birthday gift of all would be to put the NHS back on a stable footing, by increasing the number of available GP appointments, ending the long waits for ambulances, and closing the growing divide between those that can access dental care and those who can’t."
