Transcript
00:00I think it speaks volumes that Dr. Dan Poulter, someone who has spent his life
00:04working in the NHS, is still working in the NHS and plans to return to the NHS
00:09at the general election, has joined the Labour Party and is urging other
00:15disaffected Conservatives to back the Labour Party because he's not defected
00:20because he wants a job or to save his seat, he's defected because he wants to
00:24save the NHS and when Labour was last in government we delivered the shortest
00:28waiting times and the highest patient satisfaction in history. We did it
00:32before, we'll do it again, we've got a serious team and a serious plan and I
00:36hope that when the election comes disaffected Conservatives like Dan
00:40Poulter choose change with Labour.
