John Healey MP, Labour’s Shadow Health Secretary, commenting on Norman Lamb’s remarks on the NHS reorganisation, said: 

“This adds to the confusion throughout the Conservative-led Government over its handling of the health service. The NHS deserves better. 

"Norman Lamb – Nick Clegg’s Chief Parliamentary and Political Adviser – is now saying what Labour have been saying for months. The Tory-led legislation for the NHS has fundamental flaws and requires radical surgery.”
