Health professionals, NHS staff and patients continue to line up to denounce the Government's plans for the health service, with Lord Crisp, former Chief Executive of the NHS, the latest to add his voice in opposition.

In response, the Liberal Democrats have tabled some new amendments to the Health and Social Care Bill, but these only tinker with the problem and I remain convinced that the only solution is to scrap it altogether.

I put this to the Secretary of State in an urgent debate in Parliament yesterday - he blamed the previous Labour Government for failing to address waste and bureaucracy in the NHS.

Certainly the Labour Party must share some responsibility for the way that private sector principles are being applied to public services like the NHS, but that certainly doesn't excuse the Coalition's all out attack on our National Health Service.

There's only one sensible way forward, and judging by my mail bag, thousands of you agree - that is to drop the Health and Social Care Bill.

I will keep doing what I can to argue this case in Parliament and, in the mean time, thank you for your support.
