The Government's health care reforms will distort the collection of data for monitoring public health, researchers have warned.
A paper, published on BMJ.com, says CCGs will not be able to collect data as efficiently because they will not be organised geographically.
Researchers said this will ?radically change the longstanding basis for collecting data routinely about the health needs of local populations', and make it difficult to monitor the effect of new legislation on the health of the population.
