Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS - (NHS Briefing for Members)

03 Aug 2010

Equity and excellence: liberating the NHS, the coalition Government's white paper, was published on 12 July 2010. It has at its heart three key principles:

• patients at the centre of the NHS
• changing the emphasis to clinical outcomes
• empowering health professionals, in particular GPs.

There is no doubt the white paper signals the biggest reorganisation of the NHS in its history and, as expected, almost every part of the NHS will see significant change if the proposals are fully implemented.
