One of the startling changes that I don't recall featuring in the General Election Campaign are those to the NHS. They are beiing floated in the typically chaotic way that characterises the Con Dem government.
In terms of local authorities, we are being told that we will be given responsibility for "public health" but not being told what is included in that, or what the resources will be. We are also being told that the PCTs are being effectively abolished, and replaced with GP consortia. I doubt whether handing over billions of pounds to consortia with little or no experience of commissioning is going to be a problem free exercise.
This government really does look as if it is heading for a car crash.
