Firstly the news that organs may have been removed from deceased people without their consent following a data-handling error by the NHS.
Around 800,000 people have had their wishes about the use of their organs wrongly recorded due to an error.
45 individuals for whom false data were stored have since died. The NHS is about to contact approximately 20 families who allowed organs to be taken after being misinformed about what consent had previously been given.
Secondly it appears that Labour may have been targeting cancer patients with acampaign postcard suggesting the Tories would cut the NHS.
Shadow health spokesman Andrew Lansley has called the campaign shameful
The Labour Party, knowing that we are the only party that is going to increase investment in the NHS, have decided to deliberately scare patients and misrepresent what we have said. I'm actually rather shocked that they are trying to target breast cancer patients and alarm them by making up stories about what the Conservative Party would do. I think Andy Burnham, the Health Secretary, should write to every woman Labour sent these cards to and apologise and withdraw these claims."
