Labour leader Ed Miliband has promised to repeal the Government's NHS reforms and restore the Health Secretary's legal duty to provide a comprehensive health service.
Last year's Health and Social Care Act stated that the Health Secretary had the responsibility to "promote" the delivery of health services in England, but removed a previous duty to "provide or secure the provision of services".
Mr Miliband said the move was part of a "deliberate strategy" by Conservatives to allow them to deflect blame for any failings in the NHS on to doctors, hospital managers and commissioning groups.
