Ministers will today unveil legislation that will radically restructure the
NHS, handing GPs the power and money to commission treatments for their
patients and doing away with primary care trusts.
The health service's chief executive David Nicholson admitted there are
increasing risks in the reform programme, which is based on an assumption the
NHS can deliver £20 billion in efficiency savings over four years.
The proposals have drawn widespread criticism from unions and medical
professionals who fear that the plans will lead to selling off large parts of
the NHS to private medical firms who will prioritise profit over patient
health.
