NHS Reorganisation

If two thirds of the GPs the hon. Gentleman met are in favour, one third are obviously not convinced, but they will be forced to do this anyway. That is part of the problem, and I will come to that in a moment. It is no wonder that the head of the NHS Confederation, the body that is there for those who run the NHS, told the Health Select Committee last month that"““there is a very, very significant risk associated with the project””." Even the Secretary of State's right-wing supporters in the Civitas think-tank tell him that he is wrong. They have said:"““The NHS is facing the most difficult…time in its history. Now is not the time for ripping up internal structures yet again on scant evidence””."
