As we've seen, Labour and the NHS are making some of this morning's headlines. The party's health spokesman Andy Burnham was on the BBC's Newsnight last night, setting out his plans for the service.
The parties have been ramping up their campaigns - with 99 days until people go to the polls. The BBC's Jo Coburn highlights some key dates between now and then.

Former Health Secretary Alan Milburn's comments yesterday - in which he called for Ed Miliband to promise NHS reforms and compared Labour's campaign to the 1992 general election - feature on the front of the Times and the Daily Telegraph this morning.
The polls will be coming thick and fast in the coming months - keep up to date with the BBC's new interactive poll tracker, which lets you see the results of polls conducted by a range of organisations.
The tracker also includes a timeline of key events, so you can see how public opinion might have shifted at important junctures in the past five years.
The big event today, as it is on most Wednesdays, is Prime Minister's Questions, which begins at noon in the House of Commons. There are, at most, only eight of these sessions left before the election so David Cameron and Ed Miliband will be more eager than ever to come out on top.
