Week 2, article #2

Title: No. 10 tries to buy off doctors of NHS forms
by Nigel Morris, Deputy Political Editor

Summary of article

David Cameron said that the National Health Service’s overhaul will be delayed, because doctors and nurses resist the plans. He went on saying that there would be prober and substantive changes to the planned reforms. Also, the hospital doctors and GPs would be involved with making these reforms. Meanwhile the Government has paused the passage of the Health and Social Care Bill to listen to people’s worries. Mr. Cameron also said that the plans wouldn’t change, despite all the objections. He will take it easy making them though, telling the Sky news: “It’s much more important to get this right than to stick to your original timetable in every way.” Furthermore he insists it’s not a PR stunt.

My opinion

The article is a bit vague and it's repetitive. It made it difficult to read. But what I get from this is that the NHS is going to be changed. Change is supposed to be made for the good cause, but it's unclear whether this will be a good change. Further reading (of other articles) is needed for this. I can't give a real opinion on this, because it's unclear in what way the NHS will be reformed.
