Gordon Brown has given an interview to Toby Helm in today’s Observer newspager.

The interview precedes an announcement from the government on the NHS.

What takes aways are there from the interview?

First and foremost seems to be a commitment to increased care from home nurses.

The one-to-one personal care and treatment that people might expect only to get in the private sector by paying large sums of money, they should be able to get in the NHS.

We are proposing that every person who suffers from cancer will, over the next parliament, get the personal care of a professional nurse. So if you are diagnosed as having cancer, you will have this one-to-one professional nursing treatment available to you.
