Conservative and Liberal Democrat health policy Venn diagram

This Venn diagram pulls together the health policies of both parties' manifestos pre-election, letting us see the similarities and differences that could affect future health care policy.

The policies in the intersecting centre are ones that are shared by both parties. The policies that sit on the dividing lines around the centre reveal policies that are similar between the parties, (eg: The Tories' manifesto mentions a cut in admin costs, and the Lib Dems' manifesto has a comparable policy.)
