Tens of thousands of NHS workers would be sacked, hospital units closed and patients denied treatments under secret plans for £20 billion of health cuts.
The sick would be urged to stay at home and email doctors rather than visit surgeries, while procedures such as hip replacements could be scrapped.
The plans have emerged as health chiefs draw up emergency budgets that cast doubt on pledges by Gordon Brown to protect front line services in the NHS.
The plans are contained in a series of internal NHS documents uncovered by The Daily Telegraph.
The final details of the plans are not due to be announced until the autumn, well after the country has gone to the polls for the general election.
The Conservatives and health campaigners said the public deserved to know the true extent of cuts at their local surgeries and hospitals before voting.

I read last week that the NICE , which is some kind of overseer board that detirmins who gets care and who does not, in England cost 5 billion pounds per annum.
Thank you for your prayers, and your post
It is ridiculous to blame McCain for the Dems win in 2006 and 2008.
McCain and all other Republicans from conservatives, to moderates to “RINO”s deserve a lot of credit for standing UNITED against Obamacare.
It is interesting that you blame Republicans but do NOT blame OBAMA, PELOSI, REID, and all the leftist Dems who defied the will of the people in passing Obamacare
detirmins = decides lol
You obviously have no clue on how MCCain-Feingold worked. Did you maybe just notice that Obama had $700 million from unknown soruces so he could run TV ads, print ads, buy off all the magazines and newspapers with ad money. This is how he won. It is really sad when some people supposedly on our side cannot connect the dots. You probably lost your country thanks to MCCAIN-Feingold.
It goes without saying that Reid, Pelosi and Obama are evil scum but how did they get in power? Money. Illegal campaign and union money while MCCAIN screwed our side with his unconstitutional law. McCain sabaotaged us and may have destroyed your future and country.
Because they hate America and the people who built it, which consists in large part of most of the elderly.
You give them a lot more credit than I do. I have no belief whatsoever that they do it because they think they know best for us. That would mean that they’re at least somewhat altruistic and compassionate. I say they do it for the power, the control and the redistributive “social justice” aspect of it which is just an excuse to steal.
IMO, they’re evil, corrupt thieves and liars, not altruistic.
