Betrayals of the NHS must end. It's time for doctors to fight back

[Northerner]

This week hundreds of doctors meeting for the annual BMA conference in Edinburgh will debate the wreckage left by Lansley's Health and Social Care Act. When first proposed in 2010 hopes ran high after the government promised that spending decisions would go to GPs and power to patients. But the profession is now contemplating the betrayal of those promises, as cuts lead to rationing and GPs are forced to tender out all services to the private sector. As one GP grimly remarked: "We've got less money, more complexity and all of the blame."
