nursing jobs.</strong></span></div> </div> <div><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>According to data from the NHS Information Centre which have been released by Labour, over 3,500 nursing jobs have been lost since the Tory-led government came to power and another 2,500 are under threat. </strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Miliband is expected to say that the £1.7bn allocated to pay for the changes in the Health and Social Care Bill would more than cover the £748m needed to save thousands of nursing jobs. </strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>The Labour leader, who will visit staff and patients at the Princess Royal university hospital in Kent on Monday, is planning to step up his campaign against the Bill, which is due to return to the House of Lords for further debate. </strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Calling for the government to drop its controversial NHS shakeup, he is expected to say, "In tough times and with little money around, the very first priority should be to protect the frontline NHS. </strong></span></div> <div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong></strong></span> </div> <div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Instead we have a Government blowing a vast amount of money on a damaging top-down reorganization at the same time as it is cutting thousands of nurses.” </strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>However, the government Health minister Anne Milton described Labour party’s accusations as “wrong on all counts”, defending the changes to the NHS, claiming, "Stopping the reforms now would mean cutting nursing posts.” </strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Yesterday, writing in the Observer, Miliband said, "We have three months to prevent great harm being done to the NHS.”</strong></span></div> </div> <span
