Cameron would scrap NHS targets in power - The Guardian 24th June 2008

A Tory government would aim to save more than 100,000 lives a year by scrapping all central NHS targets in favour of a system to measure "health outcomes", David Cameron will say today. In a speech marking the 60th anniversary of the NHS, the Tory leader will say "centrally imposed targets" have worsened the NHS by creating a "tick boxes" culture. A Tory green paper on the NHS, to be launched by Cameron today, will say a Conservative government would aim to raise NHS standards to the same level as the best health services in the world, by focusing on survival rates and the general wellbeing of patients.
