In a letter to The Lancet 154 leading paediatricians urge the government to drop the Health and Social Care Bill We are writing as paediatricians and members of the UK’s Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health to call for England’s Health and Social Care Bill to be withdrawn. If passed, we believe that the Bill will have an extremely damaging effect on the health care of children and their families and their access to high-quality, effective services. We see no prospect for improvement to the Bill sufficient to safeguard the rights of access to health care by children and their families. In our view, no adequate justification for the Bill has been made. The costs of dismantling existing National Health Service (NHS) structures are enormous and, at a time of financial austerity for all public services, have resulted in precious resources being diverted to private management firms and away from front-line patient care..... www.opendemocracy.net/ourkingdom/ourkingdom/paediatricians-say-drop-nhs-bill-or-you-will-damage-childrens-health |
