Drop perilous NHS reforms, say leading health professionals – Health News – Health & Families – The Independent

David Cameron faces fresh calls to abandon his NHS reforms, as a group of leading public-health experts predicts that the changes will “exacerbate inequalities” in the health of the nation.

Seven former presidents of the Faculty of Public Health accuse the Prime Minister of ploughing ahead with an “unprecedented marketisation” of services, which poses a “major threat” to the integrity of the NHS.

In a letter to Mr Cameron, the group warns: “The Bill is likely to produce a ‘patchwork quilt’ health system that will vary hugely across the country, failing to meet the diverse needs of the population and undermining the health of vulnerable, minority groups.”
