The Quips of Alan Johnson

Iain Dale 11:10 AM

On Health Minister and practising surgeon Ali Darzi:
The Conservatives had ministers who could stitch you up. We've got one who

This is indeed the era of a new Dawn.

It's Aru Darzi, the man who wants every expectant mother to have two named midwives throughout her pregnancy -

at a time when there is a big freeze on midwife recruitment because the Hospital Trusts in are in deep financial doo-doo.
