Robin Sharp, chair of BPV, said: The prime minister said that the NHS is not for sale but when an American healthcare corporation buys 49 GP practices with no serious scrutiny to date you must wonder how true that is. The idea that nothing will change is fanciful.
Nan Tewari, a patient of The Wembley Practice, said: “On the one hand you have NHS region insisting Brent CCG has no choice but to agree the Operose takeover and on the other, it is advising that ultimate responsibility lies with Brent CCG as the legal decision-maker of the Brent GP surgeries’ future.

‘We have a government whose intent appears to be the privatisation of the NHS’
• A WARNING by Professor Allyson Pollock, an eminent public health specialist, this week that some 49 GP surgeries in the London area are to be taken over by the US corporation Centene comes as no surprise,
Operose Health Ltd, owned by Centene, will have jurisdiction over 370,000 patients in 19 London boroughs, in effect controlling access to GPs.
CCGs, clinical commissioning groups, were the last bastion against this mega-takeover, with the power to halt these contracts.
Now, though, the government finds it necessary to unveil yet another blueprint for the National Health Service that includes the abolition of the CCGs.
