Doctors have accused Ministers of rushing legislation that could allow changes to local hospitals to be forced through without proper consideration of patients? needs.
The British Medical Association (BMA) wants Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to backtrack on plans to give greater powers to a trust special administrator (TSA).
The changes form part of the Care Bill, which faces its first test in the Commons today, and follow a legal battle over the future of Lewisham Hospital in south-east London.
Ministers were defeated in the High Court over their attempt to cut A&E and maternity services at the hospital and had an appeal rejected in October.
