It has been agreed by David Cameron and Nick Clegg that they have to go ahead with the NHS reforms that have been planned and is facing heat from all quarters.

They said that they have to do this as they are in a rubbish place politically and for voters who fear the reforms it could take three years.

A rough treatment was tolerated by Cameron over the issue at prime minister's questions and a senior minister later on stated, "This is a politically rubbish place to be. We can either go back, sideways or forward. There is no alternative but to plough on."

The bill is not going to be abandoned by Liberal Democrats, including Baroness Williams, and this despite many health professionals have now defected after reconciling to the bill.

Cameron was accused of presiding over something that was a total disaster by Labour leader Labour leader Ed Miliband on the day that health visitors and the Faculty of Public Health joined the long list of those deserting the bill.

He added that there was a pre-election promise that the NHS will not have any top-down reorganization and it was not kept by the prime minister.
