A REPORT suggesting patients should be charged £10 a month to use the NHS has been slammed by politicians and health bosses in Worcestershire.
On Monday a report co-authored by former Labour health minister Lord Warner was released, calling for a radical overhaul to how the NHS is funded.
Among the recommendations were that each resident would pay a monthly 'membership' fee of £10 alongside council tax.
But the proposals have come under fire from all sectors of society, including from Worcester MP Robin Walker, who said he was "completely against" the idea of charging for the NHS.
