“Brown said today: “We will make GP hours friendlier to families, open up opportunities to see a GP near your place of work aswell as your home, expand walk-in centres, medical services at pharmacies and ensure a better service from NHS Direct.“

There was little else for employers as Brown’s first Labour Party Conference speech as prime minister focussed on housing, crime and the health service.
