THE NHS is the stunning omission from the Tories’ six election themes, which David Cameron revealed yesterday just days after a dozen hospitals were plunged into crisis.

Labour leader Ed Miliband said that the NHS was now the subject that “dare not speak its name” for Mr Cameron.

Dodging the damaging health crisis, Mr Cameron instead named deficit reduction, jobs, tax cuts, education, home ownership and retirement as the Tories’ themes.
