Election update, 11 April: NHS funding and access to GPs

11 April 2015

We might be entering the home straight in the election campaign, but it's rather a different race occupying the minds of many journalists today.

Continuing on the NHS theme, the Telegraph leads with the Conservatives' pledge for over 75's to get same day access to GP's.
