The coalition government, and in particular heath secretary Andrew Lansley, are attempting, and that may be the key word here, to force through massive reforms to the way that the NHS is run and being someone who regularly meets with the NHS coal face, there are few issues which are closer to my heart, but do we really care?
This may seam like an odd statement from a person who relies so much on the NHS (to the point whereby if if it wasn't for them I wouldn't be here to type this) but my point is that as an NHS 'consumer' the only I really care about it is the experience I have when I go to hospital or visit my GP, who runs it all doesn't bother me, just as long as it is run well. However, my grave concerns lie with where the power is being put.
Many millions of pounds have been put into making GPs more accessible to the public during the previous government by increasing surgery hours. However, now the GPs will have to spend their time working out what to do with the money instead of treating patients, completely undoing the good work and reducing contact time with patients.
This is why I am so vehemently against the reforms, because they will make the patients' experience worse, not because I'm ideologically opposed to reform. It's not "Hands of my NHS." It's "Don't ruin my NHS" however these two statements are not so easily separated in this case, so I'll stand by both claims for now:
"Hands of my NHS so you don't ruin my NHS"
