Public consultation(s) for the Health and Social Care Bill 2012
Dear Department of Health and Social Care,
Please kindly provide a copy of the public consultation(s) for the Health and Social Care Bill 2012 and anonymised responses (before it became an Act).
We're particularly interested in what the public said in response to:
1. Government wanting to remove the duty on the Secretary of State to provide healthcare for all - which is now the case as per the Act.
2. Government wanting to introduce insurance structures into the NHS like in the US which is now the case as per the Act.
3. Give Secretary of State the powers to create a market and allow providers to pick and choose which patients will get care and which patients won't get care - which is now the case as per the Act.
For public reference: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/201...
Yours faithfully,
Amanda Hart
