We have launched our Right to Choose website in the belief that fresh thinking is needed to improve the NHS on which we all rely.

In Right to Choose, you will read interviews with hard-working doctors and nurses that paint a graphic picture of the stress that the NHS is being put under today.

We make the case for giving them more freedom to do their jobs.

We look abroad to ask why we wait longer here for treatment than in other developed countries.

At a time when we enjoy more and more choice in our daily lives, we ask why most of us have to take what we are given when it comes to healthcare.

We make a case for giving all patients, and especially the poorest in our society, the Right to Choose where they go for treatment.

I hope you enjoy this website. Please join the debate by sending your comments to me online.
