Happy Birthday to the NHS which is 60 years old today. Today the comedian Jo Brand, a former nurse, said:

“I worked in the NHS in the Eighties, and it was a right balls up. And as a former mental health nurse, it’s good to see Labour taking nurses seriously; keep listening or you never know where a thermometer might end up.” Says it all really.

Below you can watch a video of my colleague, the Labour MP for Watford Claire Ward, walking around Watford General Hospital with her baby, explaining what the NHS has done for her family and how Labour has been investing in the NHS since the party founded it 60 years ago.
