The Government doesn't trust GPs to manage flu jabs campaign... but will trust them to manage the entire NHS budget

Go figure. Today the government announces that it has lost confidence in GPs to manage, at a local level, the campaign to immunise vulnerable people against seasonal flu, but will meanwhile press ahead with legislation to devolve NHS commissioning to GP consortia and public health to local councils.

If this comparatively small job failed so completely, then what chaos lies ahead?

All this as critism of the reforms go on,

and on,

and on,

and on.
