I couldn't care less who runs it ,as long as we aren't forced to pay at the door or take out private medical insurance on top of paying through taxes which we aren't so it's a good thing .The NHS as it stands is a bloated,overstaffed(in areas) tax burden that needs trimming down drastically .
GP's will get control of their budget ,can't see how they can complain really ,they will form consortium's ,hire a few accountants to manage the budget and they will be able to focus the budget where it is needed .Who knows maybe i will be able to see a doctor at my surgery when i need to instead of 7 days later when i'm no longer ill .Maybe my wife will be able get the scan on her back in 2 months instead of 18 months .At this time i think anything could be an improvement .
The NHS cannot survive in it's present form ,we need a new model for it
