More than 150 paediatricians are calling on the Government to scrap its controversial Health Bill, saying it will have an “extremely damaging effect” on the health of children, writes The Independent. Members of the UK’s Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health said there was “no prospect” of improving the Health and Social Care Bill, in a letter to The Lancet medical journal. They accused the Government of “misrepresenting” the Bill as being something that was necessary for the NHS. The signatories join several Royal Medical Colleges, including the Royal College of GPs and the Royal College of Radiologists, in calling for the Bill to be scrapped.
Shadow Health Minister and Labour MP for Denton and Reddish, Andrew Gwynne, argues that the Health and Social Care Bill will be bad news for Northern England in an opinion piece in The Guardian today, calling on the Government to drop it. He claims the Health Bill will signal “the end of the National Health Service as we know it”. Focusing on the English regions, he looks at how “the Government is treating Kensington the same as Blackpool despite an eleven year difference in life expectancy.”
