An NHS Constitution for England (21st February 2008)
The government should have less say in the day-to-day running of the NHS in England, the BMA says today (Thursday 21 February, 2008). In the first of a series of discussion papers on NHS reform in England, the BMA proposes a formal constitution for the NHS, and with it greater independence from party politics. The paper argues that health professionals, in consultation with patients, should have much greater involvement in the management of the NHS.
