A Labour government will repeal the coalition's controversial healthcare legislation in the first year of taking power, the party's health spokesman has declared.
In a barnstorming speech, greeted by whoops and cheers, to party delegates at Labour's annual conference, Andy Burnham said that the Tory-led coalition's health reforms had placed the NHS on a fast-track to fragmentation and privatisation and that the legislation had to go.
Internally there has been a debate within the party about whether these populist measures could be easily implemented.
