Description

Secretary of State for Health, William Waldegrave rejects claims that the NHS is suffering. The BMA has put forward a case for a 6 million-pound injection of cash into the NHS, but the Government claims the service has economic plans in place which will keep the service healthy. John Chawner, Chairman of the BMA’s Consultant Committee, claims the Government will speed up the deterioration of the NHS. Ian Bogle of the GP’s Committee claims those who have taken control of their own budgets are in trouble financially. Male reporter not identified.
