We are opposing them on that. We are opposing them on that. We are worried that in the nhs debate, they are talking about reform before investment, when we think there needs to be reform and investment. So, we will hold them to account. But we will be different from the conservatives, because being constructive means you dont do the kind of politics which people are sick of, and you also put your alternatives Forward.
