Boris Johnson is planning to use new health legislation to impose ministerial control over the NHS.
A bill to be introduced this year will include new powers for ministers including Mr Johnson to issue instructions to NHS England chief executive Sir Simon Stevens.
The move - understood to have been developed over the past year by health secretary Matt Hancock - is likely to spark concerns that Conservative ministers could seek to use new powers to extend private sector involvement in the NHS.

Under the terms of Conservative health reforms, Sir Simon’s position is operationally independent, but the prime minister is said to be concerned that this arrangement makes it difficult for Downing Street to force through changes to the system.





This is the beginning of the end for free health care i reckon. A US style system is coming down the tracks.
