Have you even read this thread?
Mainly because politicions get too hot headed (or whoever is telling them what to do) and tend to change too much at once. We see this time and time again with reforms.
Competition within the NHS itself is probably a good thing but not bringing in the private sector.
I can see ATOS bidding for contracts for a start.
I agree with you on the appointments but thats no reason to rebuild it, all that needs is an order from the health department to GP surgeries telling them its compulsory to allow advance appointments, job done. Of course government wont do that because precious waiting list times will go up. This same issue will likely exist after a rebuild for the same reason.
