Amid increasing pressure for the scrapping of the controversial Health and Social Care Bill, Prime Minister Davis Cameron recently wrote in the Sunday Times that he was "at one" with Health Secretary Andrew Lansley as well as the bill going through parliament.

The Prime Minister’s assertion comes at a time when there are speculations galore about the future of the highly-debated NHS reforms bills as well as Lansley’s position, especially after recent reports of three Conservative cabinet ministers privately slamming the manner in which Lansley is handling of bill.

Stating that there was no alternative to the proposed NHS changes going through Parliament, Cameron also criticized Labour for what he has called its "opportunism" on the issue --- something that is evident from Labour’s claims that the proposed reforms were an "evolution" from the changes which the previous government had brought on.

With the proposed reforms essentially aimed at giving GPs control of a chunk of their budgets and at expanding competition, Cameron asserted his string backing of the NHS’ founding principles, including "health care for all, free at the point of use, unrelated to the ability to pay."

Noting that the system is far from perfect even though the values are right, Cameron wrote that even though some people may be ill at ease about “choice, competition and transparency” in the NHS, it is there very aspects which are “at the heart of our reform that will lead to the better NHS I care about and our country deserves.”
