yes they did ,the deregulated tarriffs will be in conjunction with "best practice" for each procedure so no matter what is charged the same standard must be adhered to
I repeat Chase farm A&E was not closed by the government it was a recommended closure by the IRP
If you think that political parties put all proposals in minute detail into their manifestos then you are mistaken ,however in the case of NHS reform it was quite comprehensively covered ,so you can't say that the voting public didn't have a chance to vote for it .

I wonder who the IRP are though are they some quango that can enforce closures against what the local public would like.? The independant reconfiguration panel does not sound very democratic to me.
And them recommending closures and ministers agreeing sounds enforced to me! unless the local public have their say and are listened to.
GP fund holding might work but i have very deep reservations about the rest as i have linked to,in our area the GPs are not very keen on fundholding anyhow,as they can see arguments with patients who believe that GPs may withold treatment due to budgets and very frosty patient doctor relationships might develop as a result.
