Jeremy Hunt should be demoted not promoted, says Ashworth

Jonathan Ashworth MP has said a move to promote Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt during the cabinet reshuffle next week would be "kick in the teeth to all those patients languishing on trolleys today in hospitals." Speaking after his appearance on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show, the shadow health secretary, added that he believed this year's winter crisis in the NHS was "entirely predictable" and "entirely preventable". .
