Verbatim
“It's a very bad idea. It's bad for patients. It's bad for medicine. It's bad for care - and it's bad for the public purse.”
“This study shows the lessons from England and acts as a warning to Scotland: expect more inequalities, longer waiting times, less capacity, and fewer services.”
“A two-tier health system, with more and more in common with US health care, is taking shape in the UK”

Citations are counted by an automated scan of UK press coverage and may be incomplete. Roles, biographies and contact details are researched and human-reviewed before they appear here; anything not yet reviewed is simply absent rather than shown unverified.
