Government makes changes to NHS operations plansPlans for the reform of the health service in England have been revised by the government following a report on the issue.

The main recommendations made by the NHS Future Forum have been accepted by ministers and proposals for changes to the current system are being altered in order to accommodate them.

Individuals concerned with continuous improvement within the health service may be interested to note that joined up services will be promoted and patients will be provided with greater choice and information under the new plans.

Changes being made as a result of advice from the independent group, which is made up of health experts, include greater involvement for specialists in clinical commissioning groups, stronger controls to protect patients' interests and greater safeguards against privatisation.

In a recent speech, prime minister David Cameron stated that suggestions made during a consultation on NHS reform have been listened to and revisions are being made to take these into consideration to ensure they reflect the concerns of stakeholders.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800579772-ADNFCR
