Much is being (and will be) written about the Health and Social Care Bill, which sets out the reform of the English National Health Service.
The bill can be accessed here, and its progress through the House of Commons and the House of Lords can be tracked here. Editorials in the two main British medical journals are not particularly supportive. The Lancet poses a revealing question "The end of the National Health Service?", while the British Medical Journal uses Boris Karloff's characterization as Frankenstein to illustrate what it is called "Dr Lansley's [the current Secretary of Health] Monster".
