The White Paper recognises that nurses have a critical contribution to make

Article Abstract:

The UK government is strongly aware of the need to work closely with National Health Service (NHS) staff, especially nurses. The White Paper 'The New NHS' recognizes that nurses have a key role to play in NHS reform, and contains provisions to raise the profile of nursing as a profession. The government shares nurses' concerns about raising standards within the NHS, and aims to give nurses the opportunity to bring their skills to the cutting edge of NHS management.

Call to stop GPs seizing control

Article Abstract:

Nursing, consumer and health organizations in the UK have welcomed provisions contained in the government's White Paper 'The New NHS' which would make primary care groups, headed by GPs and community nurses, the main National Health Service (NHS) purchasers. However, nursing unions are keen to ensure that nurses are not pushed aside as GPs gain control of NHS purchasing. The RCN is already considering how nurses can play a proactive role in the purchasing process.
