How damaging has this been for Dave?

What do we think of the latest move?
The Tory health cuts saga has taken a new turn with the party retracting the apology it found itself having to issue when inaccuracies were found on its list of hospitals at risk.
The problem with getting specific, as they did yesterday, is that you can pick off each component and find somebody who will say that a particular service is not under threat.
So rather than arguing about the big picture the party found itself having to get into skirmishes over details.
We’ll see in the next few days whether this has done any damage in the polls.
