"Under one option being discussed, ministers would use new NHS legislation to abolish the foundation trust status introduced by Tony Blair in the early 2000s, under which many hospitals in England enjoy considerable autonomy from Whitehall" and replace it with what?
"The taskforce is also examining whether to turn integrated care systems, which are currently voluntary groupings of NHS organisations within an area of England, into legal entities with annual budgets of billions of pounds" run by who?
Prediction: Private healthcare firms will be commissioned to run foundation trusts and STPs. The entire NHS will be run for profit from the top down.
The NHS will then have funding and services cut (as it has been for decades in and off) as private health insurance provision is nurtured. Leaving us with a bare bones NHS for the poor and a huge bloated insurance funded healthcare system for those that can afford it.
