Why I'm stepping down as a GP over NHS 'reforms'.

The framework for wholesale privatisation of the organisation, supply, finance and distribution of our healthcare is now in place. So why am I retiring early?

That was the day the main provisions of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 came into effect. On Wednesday night, a last-gasp attempt in the House of Lords to annul the part pushing competitive tendering sadly failed. The democratic and legal basis of the English NHS and the secretary of state's duty to provide comprehensive health services have now gone, and the framework that allows for wholesale privatisation of the planning, organisation, supply, finance and distribution of our health care is now in place. Since 1948, we GPs have been our patient's advocate, championing the care we judge is needed clinically. via www.guardian.co.uk Read more →
