Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Lansley's reforms created with new bodies known as integrated care systems - regional groupings of providers of different sorts of healthcare working with their counterparts in social care.
53% : The bill is the first of a series of important decisions that Javid, who is barely a week into his new role as the boss of the Department of Health and Social Care, will have to take in the next fortnight.
47% : Dr David Wrigley, the BMA's deputy chair of council, said: "We are concerned that private health providers like Virgin Care could be given seats on the boards of ICSes and therefore potentially be involved in deciding who gets what contracts.
47% : Ministers want his replacement to have a much lower profile and not cause trouble by regularly lobbying in public for the NHS to be given more money and the government to radically reform social care, as Stevens has done.
