A new book by Lord Owen entitled The Health of the Nation: NHS in Peril will be published on 4 December. It details the damage done by the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and the reasons why the worst aspects of it must be repealed.
The six chapter headings covering the main topics are as follows:
Introduction
“The Campaign for the NHS Reinstatement Bill 2015 is an all-party and no-party campaign* whose aim is simple: to ensure a sufficient number of MPs are returned to Parliament in May 2015 so that whichever party or combination of parties form the government the marketisation of healthcare is removed from the Health and Social Care Act 2012 – which in essence only applies to England. This Act was likened when it was published to tossing a hand grenade into the NHS. The damage it has done already is hard to exaggerate, let alone quantify. This legislation must be repealed but it will have to be done carefully in an enabling way, with no single appointed day when everything changes.”
