5 Steps to Stop the Cuts...
Excerpts of a message from David Cameron MP [Full Text available here]
"First, there should be an immediate moratorium on closures to allow breathing space for the right changes to be put in place.
"Next, we should scrap the top-down targets that have added so much cost to local NHS services.
"Third, it is time for the Government to take action and delay implementation of the Working Time Directive, as it is permitted to do, and seek to amend the Directive so that it affects the NHS no more adversely than the majority of other European health care systems - as it has tried, but failed, to do.
"We need to put GPs in the driving seat of the NHS, commissioning care on behalf of their patients - and thereby ensuring that services are driven by their needs rather than by the diktats of central government.
"Finally, we need to give real freedom to hospitals and their clinicians to determine how to deliver services, including allowing them to work with colleagues in neighbouring hospitals to provide the relevant specialisms."
