The National Health Service is set to be a battleground for the 2015 general election, with the coalition parties defending their record in power and Labour making the future of the health service a central plank of their election campaign.
The coalition pushed through a controversial reorganisation of the NHS in the form of 2012’s health and social care bill, which handed more control to GPs and introduced more competition into services. More recently, doctors, nurses and charities have warned that the service is at breaking point, highlighting financial pressures that would need to be addressed by whoever comes to power after the election.
We would like to hear your own accounts and experiences of NHS treatment and care since 2010. Have you noticed an improvement in the quality of your care, has it stayed the same, or has it deteriorated? Whether your experience is of your local GP, hospital care, mental health services or any other aspect of the NHS, we want your help to build up a national picture of the state of our health service.
