News today that David Cameron has failed to consolidate with NHS experts opposing his plans, only highlights further the complete mess the coalition has made over NHS reform. The British Medical Association and the Royal College of Nursing, which want the bill to be withdrawn, say they have not been asked to attend Mondays event.
It strikes me that Cameron is only interested in negotiating with those who are already in favour of his proposed reforms. Despite widespread criticism, he is failing to take into consideration opinions of two major bodies representing health officials.
Furthermore, increasingly I wonder whether now is the right time at all to introduce NHS reforms, when the government instead should be focusing more upon issues such as welfare reform and unemployment.
