Plan to develop 'more personal' NHS

Blah, blah, blah...

An inquiry into the future role of nurses and midwives will make the NHS "more personal to the needs of patients", Gordon Brown said.

The Prime Minister and Health Secretary Alan Johnson unveiled plans for a Commission on the Future of Nursing and Midwifery during a visit to King's College Hospital in Camberwell, south London.

Announcing the plan to work out how nurses can further improve patient safety and champion high-quality care, Mr Brown added: "We are transforming the health service for the future. The health service is a public service but it also a service that is personal to the needs of the patient."
