Radical changes to NHS proposed in White Paper
The NHS in England is to undergo a major restructuring in one of the biggest shake-ups in its history, the government has announced.
Hospitals are to be moved out of the NHS to create a 'vibrant industry of social enterprises' under the proposals.
And, as expected, GPs are to take charge of much of the budget.
The move will lead to the abolition of all 10 strategic health authorities and the 152 management bodies known as primary care trusts.
