This morning I will be on the platform at the beginning of the National Association of Primary Care’s (NAPC) conference talking to one of the two GP organisations that have helped develop GP led commissioning. I am one of four speakers speaking on the theme of “Transforming the NHS”. Unfortunately for the NHS, transformation is a topic that has been much discussed but rarely put into practice.
And transformation is indeed what the NHS needs if it is going to survive the imbalance between the flat level of resources over the rest of this decade and a rising annual demand for health care of between 3 and 4% a year.
