<font color="mediumblue">On the 5th of April 2012 , Case No.s EA/2011/0286 & 287<br>
<br>
In front of Judge John Angel a court tribunal unanimously decided that
the NHS Bill was contrary to the Tory manifesto. This was in response to
Labour MP & former Shadow Health Secretary John Healey request to
publish the NHS Risk Register and the govenrments refusal to do so and
John Healey taking the government to court . <br>
<br>
The court
unanimously decided that the NHS Bill was contrary to the Tory
manifesto, unexpected, rushed, far reaching, pre-judged and without
proper consultation. In effect, the judgement implies that the Tories
cynically hid their plans to carve up the NHS prior to the 2010
election. You and I know that of course, but to read it in black &
white from a court judgement is truly unprecedented . <br>
<br>
The
judgement is a devastating indictment of the Tory handling of our
democratic process. The judges unanimously ruled the Tory government
should release the full contents of the NHS Risk Register . <br>
<br>
The
government is not working on the nations behalf in dismantling the NHS,
, it has no mandate to do this and even though the bill has been
accepted by the House of Lords it needs to be stopped NOW ! <br>
<br>
There has been no mention of this judgement on terrestrial TV . </font></span></span><br>

second panel: </b><br>
</font><font color="black"><span class="hasCaption"><span class="text_exposed_show">The exact wording of paragraph 85 is shown below:<br>
<br>
“From the evidence it is clear that the NHS reforms were introduced in
an exceptional way. There was no indication prior to the White Paper
that such wide-ranging reforms were being considered. The White Paper
was published without prior consultation. It was published within a very
short period after the Coalition Government came into power. It was
unexpected. Consultation took place afterwards over what appears to us a
very short period considering the extent of the proposed reforms. The
consultation hardly changed policy but dealt largely with
implementation. Even more significantly the Government decided to press
ahead with some of the policies even before laying a Bill before
Parliament. The whole process had to be paused because of the general
alarm at what was happening”<br>
