The shape of things to come.
The NHS reforms initiated by this government have brought about changes on a scale the service has not experienced since its inception. The mechanisms of the market place have been introduced into this massive national organisation, the biggest employer in Europe. Many commentators remain apprehensive about what can be expected when harsh economic realities replace intangible concepts such as 'public service' as the system's driving force. Will patient care fall by the wayside? Will staff morale be affected?
