NHS Shake Up- GP Powers: Good Or Bad For DisAbility?
July 12, 2010
I’ve been hearing for about a week that:
Ministers want doctors to club together in consortia to take charge of billions of pounds of funds for mental health, hospital and community services.
It would represent a major change but they believe GPs are better placed than managers to respond to patient need.
This proposal is due to be published in a White Paper later today. Health Secretary Andrew Lansley supports it.
What do you think of it, UK readers? Many of us are the users of the services they want to hand over to GPs. Would this move mean that we would be more likely to access the services we needed? Would it speed up the process? Or would it make no difference at all? Please leave your comments below.
