Abstract

The white paper ‘Equity and excellence: liberating the NHS’ (Department of Health 2010) sets out a wide-ranging set of proposals to reform the NHS. The King’s Fund and Doctors.net.uk have carried out a survey to ascertain doctors’ opinions of the impact of these reforms. This paper summarises the main findings from the survey. The key findings are: about one in four of the doctors in the survey (24 per cent) believe that the proposed reforms will improve the quality of the patient care provided by their organisation or practice; 22 per cent of the doctors we surveyed believe that the NHS will be able to maintain its focus on increasing efficiency while implementing the proposed reforms; and, more positively for the government, over 60 per cent of the GPs who responded think that there are GPs in their area with the capacity to lead GP commissioning consortia, though only 31 per cent of hospital doctors believe this to be the case.
