The Layman welcomes the new Journalists from Cramlington, Alan Hepple former Northumberland County Councillor and ex town councillor.
We should all be very worried about the Tory Health and Care bill, which should be called the Corporate Takeover Bill. The bill will reshape the NHS to provide 42 new integrated care systems ( ICS) placing private health care companies at the heart of the NHS. ICS boards, upon which private health companies will sit, will be responsible for commissioning health and local council care services. It could see private health companies being awaded contracts without going through a tender process. Labour should and must oppose this Tory bill!
