Have to say I'm truly shocked by what the bastard torys have planned for the English NHS.
I've just copied this from the BBC, it says it as well as I could
"The changes would see a reduced role for the private sector, while a system of contracts being put out to tender, with health groups sometimes competing against each other, would be scrapped.
-----
Instead of a system which required competitive tendering for contracts - sometimes involving private companies - the paper says the NHS and local authorities will be left to run services and told to collaborate with each other.
What is described as needless bureaucracy standing in the way of NHS organisations will be removed under the plans.
There will also be more focus on GPs, hospitals and social care services working together to improve patient care.
Former Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt [still a ****] welcomed the proposed changes."
The plans, revealed in a leaked document, would reverse changes made under David Cameron.

Broadly speaking what is being proposed appears to be in line with the blueprint NHS Scotland adopted a dozen or so years ago, dare I say it after the SNP came to power at Holyrood! I'll say it because you'll never see it elsewhere!
However, a note of caution. This is a White Paper, a proposal. There's a long way to go in Westminster before it becomes reality. There's a huge group of mercenary tory bastards with their snooty noses already in the NHS trough who, I'd expect, will fight this tooth and nail to maintain their lucrative incomes off the backs of the sick and vulnerable.
