With the NHS suddenly discovering in August 2007 that it wasnt perhaps quite so short of cash as we all thought, after cutbacks and efficiencies actually left it with a £1 billion surplus, it has been a strange time for those trying to drag this most high profile, politically sensitive institution into the second decade of the 21st century.
Nowhere is this struggle felt more acutely than in London, where hospitals and primary care trusts face an unending battle to balance their books, manage massive property and equipment assets, motivate a huge workforce and in the meantime, deliver ever better care for a population which is growing older and developing more and more long term conditions.
Against this seemingly impossible task, we predict that the new GP polyclinics or super surgeries proposed as part of the latest reform agenda will in London be declared a surprising success, with up to 10 due to open by April 2009. We predict that patients will in fact be pleased with the new surgeries, preferring them to the old style GP practices, and that this will encourage further moves to deliver A&E away from hospitals and in the community, hastening the end of the old-style general hospital with a large casualty department.
