Opponent of NHS witness rebel from the retirees

NHSDoctors seemingly are facing a rebellion and the threat of demonstrations out of the surgeries in view of the Government NHS reforms, the leader of Britain's GPs has claimed.

Clare Gerada, chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said that the motives to assign donations around £80 billion a year of health funding are used up in the hands of doctors.

She further claimed that people who have refused life-extending drugs or major surgery by their GP could release their anger at them in case of protests and question their high payments.

Ms Gerada also condemned Health Secretary Andrew Lansley's NHS reform proposals to proffer GPs the responsibility of deciding who gets cured from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence and primary care trusts in England from 2013.

She further reported to the Guardian:"At worst, the negative impact for GPs could be patients lobbying outside their front door, saying 'You've got a nice ... car but you will not allow me to have this cytotoxic drug that will give me three more months of life'."

He further added:"I'm concerned that my profession, GPs, will be exposed to lobbying by patients, patient groups and the pharma industry to fund or commission their bit of the service. There could be letters from MPs and patient groups, and begging letters from patients."

The new chief of GPs claimed that making health experts "the new rationers" of NHS care could reduce patient trust and turn them into "customers" who shopped to get the best cure.
