British PM David Cameron today defended the radical shakeup of the NHS as he was accused of breaking promises and of being "arrogant" by pressing ahead with reforms despite warnings from unions and health experts over the plans.The prime minister said the government was reforming the NHS "so that we have got the best in Europe" as he was challenged by both Labour and a member of the coalition benches over planned health service reforms at prime minister's questions today.
The total number of adults under 25 who are out of work hit 951,000 in the three months to November, just 1,000 short of its record high. There was a particularly sharp rise in the number of 16- and 17-year-olds classed as unemployed, rather than in employment or education, up to 204,000 from 177,000 in the previous quarter. The statistics will fuel fears that Britain's young people could become a "lost generation" who cannot find work despite the recession ending a year ago.
