Dear Editor
I am replying to Steven Ford’s comment to reflect re his comments on fundholding. With all the current ‘talk’ from Wes Streeting downward re the future of the NHS no public figure seems to be suggesting that this scheme is re introduced. Probably the most effective change in the last 40 years ,whilst it lasted , from both the patients point of view and as a cost check process. Whether any GP practice would have the energy or enthusiasm to be involved now and if the NHS would risk actually moving resources away from hospitals are different questions
