Elderly people in England are to have a named clinician responsible for their care when they leave hospital, the health secretary has said.

The initiative is to be unveiled at an event to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the National Health Service.

Mr Hunt says it will to help create a "more personal service".

But Labour have said the NHS' anniversary is overshadowed by a "real sense of worry about where the NHS is heading".
