Meeting with the NHS Confederation
Today I met with representatives from the NHS Confederation to discuss their thoughts about Conservative Health Policy and how this important organisation, which represents all sectors of the NHS, sees the issues around real budgets being devolved to GPs.
Clearly it is important for anyone interested in the problems facing the NHS to be aware of issues from all points of view within the organisation.
Conservatives want commissioning of services by local doctors, who have the needs of their own communities at heart, not services dictated by central government.
We also discussed the issues around public health policy and in particular the urgent issue of alcohol. My long held views and concerns on alcohol policy are detailed under the Campaigns Tab of this website.
