GPs' private firms grab NHS cash
The Department of Health says arrangements must be in place to manage
possible conflicts of interest, health reforms are mired in controversy over
members of new NHS commissioning bodies who award lucrative contracts to themselves.
In one case, a clinical commissioning group (CCG) awarded a £150,000 deal
to a company created by its chairman.
The revelations expose potential conflicts of interest in the first wave of contracts
under the health service reforms launched tomorrow.
Critics believe they will blight the 211 new CCGs and drag the government into
a fresh row over its NHS shake-up.
The CCGs replace primary care trusts and strategic health authorities, taking
responsibility for designing and commissioning local health services in England.
More than a third of the GPs who sit on the CCGs have stakes in private firms or
organisations that can bid for work from the new boards. So do many practice managers.

the system lends itself to abuse with no real benefit to the customers.

This could be the greatest shake-up in the 65-year history of the NHS
The greatest impact may come from the decision to publish data on safety
. Some 160 NHS organisations are being abolished and well over 400 new
ones are being created - including NHS England, the biggest quango of them
all and until now known as the NHS Commissioning Board.
Patients, of course, will notice no immediate difference. Not tomorrow, not next
month. Doctors will still go on doctoring, nurses nursing. Your local GP surgery
and local hospital is not going to be revolutionised overnight.
But the decision to hand over the commissioning of the bulk of NHS care to GP-led
organisations - the clinical commissioning groups - with the more specialised
care commissioned by NHS England, with local government taking responsibility
for public health, and with EU procurement law more clearly enshrined in the NHS
than in the past may, over time, prove to be the most significant change in the way
the NHS works in its 65-year history.

NHS shakeup may destroy patients' trust in GPs, says BMA leader
Family doctors 'will have to ration care and risk being seen by patients
as agents of state'
Dr Mark Porter says GPs are being 'dragged away' from their duty to put
patient care first.
The coalition's NHS shakeup could destroy the trust between GPs and their
patients by making family doctors responsible for the rationing of treatment,
the leader of the medical profession has warned.
GPs would be at risk of being seen as "agents of the state" who are implementing
government cuts once the historic change in their role takes effect on 1 April,
Porter, chairman of the ruling council at the British Medical Association (BMA),
said doctors were worried that their role in deciding which patients got access
to which treatments, as a result of the formation of 211 GP-led clinical
commissioning groups (CCGs) across England, would prove divisive and unpopular.
