Andrew Lansley Takes On Critics of NHS Reforms

It seems that there is no end to the long running controversy over the proposed NHS reforms as now the Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, has lashed out at his critics for being politically motivated to derail the NHS reforms.

Looking at the fierce opposition from the BMA, Lansley said: "Look back to 1948 when the BMA denounced Aneurin Bevan as 'a would-be Führer' for wanting them to join a National Health Service. And Bevan himself described the BMA as 'politically poisoned people”.

Giving it back to the Health Secretary, Dr. Hamish Meldrum, the Chairman of the BMA's ruling council, said that Andrew Lansley is simply overlooking the dire consequences of his proposed bill.

It has been known that ever since the health and social care bill was proposed, it caught criticism from wide corners of the society. There was a significant outrage from medical fraternity for the NHS reforms being anti-democracy. The opposition to the bill went to an extent that David Cameron had to step in to hear what the critics were saying. However, all extended steps from the government to raise consensus for the NHS reforms went haywire and there could not be any desired result achieved.

Among the fierce critics was British Medical Association, which was told to be instigating more and more people against the NHS reforms, which, as per them, could derail the health care system. It is being believed by the medical fraternity that these reforms could put health care needs of patients at the back burner, thereby making way for private healthcare providers to rule the healthcare system.

It is being believed that the BMA, the Royal College of Nursing and the Royal College of Midwives have all gone against the bill to an extent that they have called for the bill to be scrapped in the first place.

It is necessary that this war of words is being put to rest as soon as possible before things become worse for the NHS.
