An analysis of the Coalition Government’s proposals for reform to the NHS: A necessary step to recovery or the death knell of the NHS?

The Coalition Government’s publication of the White Paper Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS has caused consternation amongst the guardians of the health service. This paper reviews whether Health Minister Andrew Lansley’s proposals that primary care trusts and strategic health authorities should be eliminated in favour of greater power in the hands of GPs, and the return of public health responsibilities to local authorities is a step back into the past rather than the future. Consideration is also given to the haste with which the proposals were prepared. Primary research takes the form of surveys with GPs and health care professionals, and a comprehensive literature review is undertaken.
