The Trafford Hospital in Manchester, the St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals in Merseyside and debt-ridden Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Cambridgeshire could be sold or run by private firms.
The sell-off of Trafford would be hugely symbolic as it was there in 1948 that then Health Minister Aneurin Bevan accepted the keys of the new hospital - the first in Britain to offer free treatment under the newly-formed NHS.
And only three years ago David Cameron, then leader of the Opposition, visited Trafford and declared that the Tories had a "historic opportunity" to steal Labour's clothes as the party of the NHS.He went on to win the General Election under the slogan: "We'll cut the deficit, not the NHS." Doctors and nurses fear the changes will mean thousands of job losses as private firms cut staff numbers in their drive for profit.
"The NHS is safe in Tory hands" - bollocks.
