<p>Six out of 10 doctors disagree with the Government&#8217;s reforms of the NHS and many do not believe they will improve patient care, according to a poll for the Royal College of General Practitioners.</p>
<p>It said the survey highlighted how GPs are yet to be convinced by the plans, which will see them take control of around £80 billion of NHS money.</p>
<p>Most (70%) think the reforms will not improve the relationship between GPs and hospital consultants, and there are serious doubts over whether they will cut red tape in the NHS.</p>
<p>More than 70% of GPs said they also &#8220;disagreed&#8221; or &#8220;strongly disagreed&#8221; that plans to create a bigger market in healthcare, using private companies, would improve the NHS.</p>
<p>The poll, of more than 1,800 GPs, found 52% disagreed or strongly disagreed that the reforms would create a patient-led NHS.</p>
<p>Some 43% said the reforms would not improve health outcomes &#8211; such as tackling cancer or deaths from heart disease &#8211; with another 27% neither agreeing or disagreeing.</p>
<p>Overall, 32% disagreed with the direction of the reforms, 29% strongly disagreed and another 15% neither agreed or disagreed. Only one in five (20%) agreed with the direction of the plans, and only 4% strongly agreed.</p>
<p>RCGP leader Clare Gerada said: &#8220;The RCGP is not opposed to NHS reform; we want to improve the NHS for our patients, and GPs want to see a clinician-led NHS that places patients at its very centre.</p>
<p>&#8220;However, these results highlight the continuing concerns many of our members have about the proposals outlined in the Health Bill. This is a snapshot of what our members are thinking at the moment.</p>
<p>&#8220;These results show that a significant number of our members are keen to support GP-led commissioning; it is something the College, and GPs, have wanted for many years. However, our members are telling us that they are worried about the pace at which these reforms are being implemented, the danger of fragmentation of services, and the emphasis on competition, and they are not sure whether the proposals really will have the positive impact on patient care that is intended.&#8221;</p>
