Jeremy Hunt is taking on GPs. Remember that the BMA is a trade union like any other
Mostly, I blame Doctor Findlay, though we journalists haven’t helped either. Journalistic convention abhors repeated words, so when we’re writing about, say, GPs, the second reference to GPs generally has to be something other than “GPs”. The favoured alternative term for “general practitioner” is “family doctor”. Is there a nicer, cuddlier phrase than that? Who [...]

Queen's Speech: why should landlords police our borders?
Jeremy Hunt found it hard to explain how the Government’s new immigration “crackdown” will work when he appeared on the Today programme on Radio 4.

So this historic ritual in which the sitting government presents its legislative [...]

Jeremy Hunt is right: get John Lewis managers to save the NHS
Jeremy Hunt has made a brave suggestion: let private sector managers run the NHS. Before the unions start baying for the Health Secretary's blood, they should realise that this means the client/patient comes first. Those in charge of a private company know that they sink or swim depending on customer satisfaction. If the client feels [...]

Whatever happened to the Comms Review White Paper?
In May 2011, the then Secretary of State Jeremy Hunt issued an open letter which launched the DCMS Communications Review which is intended to lead to a new Communications Act by 2015. In the intervening near two years, progress has been painfully slow, the promised Green Paper never materialised, and Hunt himself has now moved [...]
Will the Tories cave in to LibDem pressure on NHS reform?
Could it really be true that Jeremy Hunt is going to back down on NHS reform under pressure from axe-grinding special interests (sorry, his Liberal Democrat coalition partners)? New regulations which are scheduled to come in with the Government's Health and Social Care Act would have permitted private providers to compete for contracts with the [...]
