Will the UK Government’s proposals make the NHS private?
The Health and Social Care Bill has been one of the most controversial pieces of proposed legislation in modern times. It was put forward in January 2011 and stems largely from the policies of the coalition’s Health Secretary, Conservative minister Andrew Lansley. Since its inception the Bill has attracted widespread criticism- particularly accusations that the Government wants to privatise the NHS. Ntaurally, this has caused quite a stir with the general public.
