Yes Bernadette I think the "shake up" of the NHS is the most frightning...
BBC News - NHS upheaval could have been avoided, leading GPs say.
In my own experience and from friends, the idea having a GP decide if he/she should spend some of thier budget on any hospital treatment you as a patient may need is a recipe for disaster.. all to many times people have been wrongly diagnosed by GP's.. and to put the added pressure on these doctors, who are afterall not specialised, forcing them to make financial decisions as well as medical will lead to many more people not getting the treatment needed.. I'll be blunt.. people will die because GP's get things wrong!
