Burnham: The NHS needs stability, not upheaval
Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham comments on the future of the NHS:
“This reorganisation is the last thing the NHS needs right now.
“It needs stability, not upheaval. All of its energy must be focused on the financial challenge ahead.
“But the 1.34 million people who work for the NHS will not be comforted by this white paper and will be alarmed their system of national pay bargaining is being torn up.
“What he calls pointless bureaucracy we call essential regulation.”
