Liberal Democrats propose a £5bn-a-year health package, featuring faster GP access, cancer treatment, and funding via closing capital gains tax loopholes.
Liberal Democrats propose a new patients' charter, giving patients a legal right to see a GP within a week, cancer treatment within two months, and guaranteeing access to a GP within 24 hours in urgent cases. This £5bn-a-year health package would be funded by closing capital gains tax loopholes. Other proposals include free dental check-ups for select populations and a new legal right to a second opinion across the NHS.
