NHS reform

The PM has defended the NHS reform and is convinced that it will lead to a better patient care. It comes as an IPPR report supports the closure of local A&E departments to be replaced by a network of specialist units. But a vast majority of public and practicioners are not convinced of the changes, which was demonstrated at the last week's rally. And the Guardian reports that ministers have accepted in private that they have failed to sell NHS reform effectively to the public.
