Lib Dems make NHS funding gap pledge

The Liberal Democrats have set out plans to plug the NHS funding gap in England by ploughing the proceeds of economic growth into public services.

Nick Clegg said only his party could meet "in full" the £8bn extra a year the NHS chief says is needed by 2020.

Mr Clegg said neither the Tories or Labour had a credible plan to safeguard the future of England's health service.
