An NHS group which allows private companies to bid to provide health services has moved to reassure people that quality will not be sacrificed for cheaper contracts.
The Waltham Forest Clinical Commissioning Group (WFCCG) was set up in April as part of a nationwide transformation where primary care trusts were abolished to be replaced by the CCGs, which put out services to tender in the private sector.
The government hopes the competition will lower prices but others are concerned the cheaper costs could mean poorer medical treatment.
