NHS Modernisation Board

The Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) advised journalists that the Prime Minister and John Reid had hosted a breakfast for the NHS Modernisation Board this morning at which the Board had presented their annual report. The Prime Minister had said that real change was taking place within the NHS which showed, as the Modernisation Board had underlined, significant and stable improvement. Both had stressed, however, that there was still much more to do. The gap between the treatment people received and their overall perception of the NHS was clearly significant. This was backed up by the Chairman of the Council of the British Medical Association, James Johnson, who had said, “There seems to be a mismatch between people’s experiences. They are surprised, while the general public’s view is that not much has changed. Perception of the NHS is changing among people who have regular contact with it”.
