    Labour is to continue focusing on the NHS today, and is expected to highlight increased use of the private sector in healthcare, and will claim hospitals prioritise private patients. The Conservatives are to pledge that they will deliver more "jobs, apprenticeships, homes and new opportunities" for people from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities. And expect more comment on Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg's announcement that he would not prop up a government that was reliant on the SNP for support.
