Sir – Among the things that most affect people’s everyday lives, few can be more important that the kind of health care available when they need it.
The changes being made to our traditional NHS are so radical and so rapid but I find no reflection of this in your paper. The county council’s new responsibility for health-care, the Government push towards privatisation of the health service, the role of private companies like Virgin, the pressure on GPs in the Clinical Commissioning Group to put everything out to the market — all of this requires serious reporting.
