Quotes

In his interview, Mr Burnham said that enshrining the target in law was about handing power to patients. "this represents a permanent transfer of power from professionals to the public and rules out any return to postcode prescribing. it will drive change in the future and it is the key dividing line between us and the tories because the tory proposals would hand power back to the professionals and see a return to postcode prescribing."
