Health regulator may fail unless health bill is amended, says new report from The King's Fund

Under proposals set out in the Health and Social Care Bill, Monitor will be responsible for setting prices for NHS-funded services, tackling anti-competitive behaviour, and maintaining essential services if providers become financially unsustainable. This report from the King's Fund suggests that Monitor may fail to fulfil its new responsibilities as the economic regulator for health care unless the government provides greater clarity about its role.
