Prime Minister David Cameron is to renew his vow to boost NHS funding and create a "seven-day" health service in his first major post-election speech.He will commit to a pre election pledge to increase budgets by at least £8bn a year by 2020, during his speech at a GP surgery in the West Midlands.The government is also promising to recruit 5,000 new GPs.Although doctors' representatives said without detail the announcement was "empty headline-grabbing".The British Medical Association said the government was yet to explain how it would deliver additional care at a time of "chronic" doctor shortages.Before the election, the Conservatives gave their backing to a plan by NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens to fill a funding gap estimated at £30bn a year by 2020.This aims to make £22bn in efficiency savings, with the rest coming from taxpayers.This will go along way to proving doubters that the Tory party will protect the NHS as they have moved once step closer to following Simon Stevens proposal to improve the NHS which Labour failed to do and many forget that Tony Blair was the one who introduced the Private investors into the NHS so uncharacteristically are the Conservatives the party of the NHS which contradicts the common rhetoric that the Conservative party is the party of the rich and the right David Cameron goes against that with his emphasis on child care . As Ed Miliband repeated over and over the NHS will suffer in the Tory cuts to reduce the deficit. However, the NHS seems to be protected by the Conservatives as this was the main concern of the mass amounts of electorates ; it leavers the thought lingering where these cuts to public services will come because raising taxes will anger the right wing faction of the party which Cameron can't afford to do.
