From Carole Walker in Birmingham: David Cameron's first visit on the first day of this campaign was to the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Birmingham. He told me the NHS was his number one priority and spoke of the "amazing" help his family had received from the health service. This is where Tony Blair was confronted by Sharon Storer in 2001. But the Tory leader had a much friendlier chat with doctors and nurses today. He asked them what they'd do if they had a magic wand and could be health secretary for the day. There were no instant solutions on offer but staff said they were looking forward to moving to new premises. One nurse said David Cameron was "very charismatic". More from Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg in Watford. Taking questions from this audience, he pledges to abolish university tuition fees, but admits it will take "six years" to do that.
