The NHS(National Health Service)has approved the creation of chains of hospitals for the first time in its history in a bid to tackle its deep financial problems and to allow more patients to be cared for by leading doctors in their fields. It will see highly respected institutions, such as Moorfields eye hospital in London and Manchester’s Christie cancer centre, providing specialist services to patients potentially many miles away in another part of England.
But the move has prompted fears that it will lead to the running down, and even closure, of small local hospitals which are highly valued by patients as a result of mergers and takeovers. Simon Stevens, the chief executive of NHS England, will announce the dramatic step in a speech to the CBI on Friday in which he will hail it as part of the "radical reform" the health service must undergo if it is to remain viable. He has pledged to transform the way the NHS in England works by 2020 so it can withstand the huge pressures caused by the growing and ageing population, growth in the number of people with long-term conditions such as diabetes and dementia, and tight budgets expected for years to come.
The decision to permit hospitals to band together into chains, which are common in many other countries, overturns 67 years of NHS history. Ed Smith, the chair of NHS financial regulator Monitor, said the era of standalone hospitals such as the foundation trust hospitals introduced by the last Labour government, was dead. Smith said: "These were right at the time, but the economic and clinical circumstances facing the NHS are now different, and our response needs to evolve. "
While hospitals would still retain their separate identities for the time being, NHS sources admitted it could lead to big or high-performing hospitals taking over smaller district general hospitals, many of which are increasingly in the red and struggling to provide high-class care, especially with a growing shortage of many types of health professionals.
Dr. Clive Peedell, an oncologist who co-chairs the National Health Action party, said; "The history of mergers in the NHS, and in the wider world of industry, is by no means one of predictable success. The danger would be that smaller trusts are gobbled up by larger ones in the name of efficiency, leaving services much less accessible for local people. And the evidence from America shows that chains end up squeezing out competition and care is compromised in the quest to maximize profit. "
Which of the following is true according to the fourth paragraph?
选项
A、The NHS will take over smaller district hospitals to improve service.
B、Hospitals will still have their features after the reforming of chain.
C、The hospitals in the red can provide high-class care.
D、High-performing hospitals are struggling to retain their identities.
答案
B
解析
这个题目的答案来自第四段第一句:hospitals would still retain their separate identitiesfor the time being,其中features就是identities。其他的三个选项都是我拼凑的。不过说实话,这样出题很爽,就在于能耗费学生在考场上的时间,你需要一个选项一个选项切分,然后和原文进行对照;在定位的时候,同学们可以利用顺序原则。最后提醒大家注意一个短语:in thered“入不敷出”。
