Great site. It's a pity I didn't find it sooner, I've been <a href="http://torylies.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">blogging on the Conservative plans for the NHS</a> for a year now, and at times it has felt quite lonely feeling like I was the only person to see the threat to our NHS.<br /><br />This bill will take a year to get through Parliament. The problem (as you say) GP commissioning has already been implemented, but amendments could be made during the passage of the bill to curtail the worst aspects. <br /><br />My concern is the plan to remove all responsibility for healthcare provision from the Secretary of State (in effect, make every hospital trust a private not-for-profit business subject to market conditions). I think there is a real possibility to block this especially if (as expected) there is a mass cull of Tory councillors in May. If we can make sure that the NHS is the hot topic on the doorstep, and that failed Tory candidates blame Lansley for their demise, we may get Cameron to put the NHS bill on hold.<br /><br />Good luck in your exams.richard.bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589364986804437392noreply@blogger.com
