Miliband urges public to rescue NHS by voting Labour
Ed Miliband has urged people to vote Labour on May, in order to save the NHS from the "financial time bomb" of austerity measures.
Speaking in Bedford, he emphasised how the race to govern is shaping up to be one of the closest on record and vowed to campaign "to the last minute" in order to prevent "savage cuts to two-thirds of hospitals because of a cash crisis made in Downing Street."
Miliband added that the rich and powerful would be the only winners if the Conservatives were elected, with working classes picking up the national deficit's slack.
He also reiterated pledges of 20,000 more nurses, 8,000 more doctors, 5,000 more care workers and 3,000 more midwives, which would be paid for by mansion taxes, tax avoidance measures and a levy on tobacco firms.
"We have got the programme for working families; we can build a better future for Britain - all we need to do is vote for it," he concluded.
