NHS Providers' budget shiftback branded 'illogical'

摘要

A suggestion from the body representing NHS trusts that the commissioning of key public health services should be removed from local government is 'illogical,' councils have said. In a new briefing last week, NHS Providers - the membership organisation for acute, ambulance, community and mental health services - said that legislative reforms in 2012 had become 'fragmented and vulnerable to funding cuts' and proposed clinical public health services should be commissioned by the NHS.
