David Cameron, the Conservative leader in the UK called for the ignoring of US style health insurance schemes. He said that health services would be free for the time being. Giving a speech he backed the policy of conducting public health campaigns regarding for example HIV posters. He said that retailers are selling chocolates to consumers even after being aware of obesity risk across the country. David Cameron who drafted the election manifesto in May last year openly criticised the policies of Margaret Thatcher and Michael Howard.

To an audience in London he exclaimed that people have to come out of the NHS and moved into the private sector. He exclaimed that Thatcher’s policy of giving tax relief for private medical insurance were examples of this. Health campaigns are needed to focus on obesity as an ill health. He said that some marketing campaigns are not responsible enough. They are promoting people to buy chocolates when they are buying newspapers. Selling chocolate oranges instead of real oranges is not referred as a good marketing strategy. It is giving rise to obesity and there would be an obesity crisis in the country soon.

He praised the HIV awareness campaigns in the past by the Tories and said that once it went off the air, the infection rates increased. He announced a new policies group that will focus on improving the public services.
The obesity rates, diabetes, syphilis etc are new challenges in front of the NHS and he said that hospitals would have freedom in dealing with the diseases. He promised to provide better services that the Labour Party could manage and to go a step further than them.

The government has not given a wide range in services and the foundation hospitals are not of autonomous nature. He asked for more power for the GP and hospitals. He said that a Conservative Government would be available at time of need and provide free services regardless of their finances. Both the parties believe that the NHS service is for the nation and not meant for the poor people alone.

He said that Tories want to improve the services for the country. He supported the view of excess spending in the heath services until 2008. He supported the Chancellor on bringing Britain to the levels of the EU in health services.
