The cancellation of Evelyn Johnston-Smith’s life-saving hole in the heart op not once, not twice, not three times, not four times but FIVE is shocking evidence of a Tory virus destroying the NHS.

Theresa May’s “nothing is perfect” dismissal of a mounting crisis shows an arrogant lack of concern from a Prime Minister refusing to face up to her responsibility.

Had the Tories funded the NHS properly, tens of thousands of operations would not be cancelled and we would not be living in fear of “Aussie flu” causing the system more pain.

May’s “sorry” apology last week was Downing Street spin and it didn’t take long for the PM’s tin ear to leave her deaf to genuine complaints.

In the real world, patients stuck in ambulances or told their ops are postponed know the NHS is on its knees.

The only people who think the NHS is healthy are Tory politicians slowly killing our most precious public service.
