Cameron accused of 'divide and rule' over NHS meeting
David Cameron has been accused of playing "divide and rule" over his decision not to invite major health professional bodies to a Downing Street meeting about NHS reforms.
The Prime Minister will tomorrow host a meeting with senior professionals on the Health and Social Care Bill, but the British Medical Association and the Royal College of Nursing - two of the most vocal critics of the Bill - say they have not been invited.
Shadow Health Secretary Andy Burnham said the NHS means too much for the Government to "play divide and rule" over the reforms.
"People have strong and sincerely-held views about the risks to the NHS from the Government's re-organisation. They deserve a hearing, not to have the door of Downing Street shut in their faces," Mr Burnham said.
According to the Mail on Sunday, the Prime Minister is planning to remove Health Secretary Andrew Lansley from his position in the autumn, with Jeremy Hunt in line as a replacement.
The Prime Minister's difficulties on health have also been laid bare, with a ComRes poll for the Independent on Sunday showing only a third of voters think Mr Cameron is a sincere supporter of the NHS.
Liberal Democrat disquiet over the health bill will come to the fore next month when members table an emergency resolution at their spring conference. The motion calls for the removal from the legislation of a whole chapter on competition in the NHS.
