Andrew Lansley attended a meeting of NHS Sheffield on Thursday 16th January and then visited at least one GP practice. At the public meeting of the CCG later in the afternoon, the CCG appeared keen to emphasise that they had presented Lansley with evidence of how well Sheffield was doing at moving forward in anticipation of the Bill - whilst also no doubt raising some local issues or difficulties. At a time when 98% of GPs in this months survey by the Royal College of GPs are saying drop the Bill, it is pretty dismal that our GPs in NHS Sheffield should appear to be encouraging him. We need to make sure that any future visits will show him what people in Sheffield think of the Bill.
Clive Peedell is continuing his run to London where, on Sunday, he will be supported by other health professionals.
