Or perhaps he represents something deeply troublesome \u2013 a fundamental disconnect between profession and politicians. Some may say &#8220;of course there is.&#8221; Yet, \u2018twas not always the way. Despite a rocky start to the NHS in 1948, with doctors being amongst the most vocal opponents, peace was eventually forged between Bevan and the\u00a0BMA \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/events\/nhs_at_50\/special_report\/119803.stm\">although in Bevan\u2019s own words<\/a>, at the cost of: &#8220;stuffing their mouths with gold.&#8221; It\u2019s also only four years since a surgeon, Lord Darzi, was appointed as under-secretary of state for health, representing a significant connect between frontline and Whitehall. And it is quite\u00a0an achievement that today the BMA are one of the NHS\u2019s biggest supporters and defenders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The government seemed to respond to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dh.gov.uk\/en\/Publicationsandstatistics\/Publications\/PublicationsPolicyAndGuidance\/DH_127444\">Future Forum\u2019s findings<\/a> quite positively.\u00a0This included clarifying the role of the NHS commissioning board,\u00a0making commissioning groups more inclusive than just GPs, and forming clinical senates so that doctors can &#8220;march up to the hill&#8221; to have their views heard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Less clear though is the role of the mysterious Health and Wellbeing Boards. Unfortunately the director of public health seems to be framed as some sort of technical adviser in this new arena.\u00a0 Sad, given that health and wellbeing in almost every other context is led first and foremost by the director of public health. However, the majority of trainees in public health may never face this difficulty as recent employment statistics indicate public health is dying out.\u00a0 Sources tell me that only a third of public health registrars in the UK got a substantive consultant post in the financial year 2010-2011.\u00a0 Given that it costs approximately \u00a3250k to train a registrar (in addition to a similar amount to put them through medical school) this represents an astounding waste of time and public money.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On the reforms overall, the <a href=\"http:\/\/web2.bma.org.uk\/pressrel.nsf\/wlu\/SGOY-8HTHXM?OpenDocument&amp;vw=wfmms\">BMA wisely sounded a cautious note<\/a>, awaiting more detail. But what do the next few months hold in store for\u00a0English healthcare?\u00a0 The government has indicated there will need to be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dh.gov.uk\/prod_consum_dh\/groups\/dh_digitalassets\/documents\/digitalasset\/dh_127578.pdf\">some changes to the Health and Social Care Bill<\/a>. Technically, it is possible that the bill will not survive scrutiny and fail to be passed. Such a fate was almost met by Obama\u2019s health bill in 2010. In the end, for Obama, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hsj.co.uk\/news\/policy\/us-healthcare-a-proposal-that-speaks-to-the-heart-of-america\/5012291.article\">a watered down bill was passed by both Houses, with much loss of original intentions<\/a>. In reality, this is the most likely fate of the current coalition bill. What exactly will and won\u2019t survive is less clear, and I must confess I am starting to feel perplexed by all the impending new bureaucracy.\u00a0Drawing a diagram has stopped being a sensible option; there are just too many boxes and arrows in too many different directions.\u00a0Am I the only one having this problem?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Douglas Noble <\/strong>has worked in surgery, emergency medicine, public health and for WHO.
