Working together for a stronger NHS

Modernisation of Health and Care (Dept of Health). This is not consultation part 2 - the reorganisation has already started with redundancies ('frontline' as well as 'managers') and 'clustering' of PCT's. This is PR, but merely for the record, a few things from the flash new 'leaflet':
'No change is not an option' (not because the country is in debt, but because of pensioners etc). Why did Cameron say no more top-down reorganisations then - what's changed?

I haven't read the whole thing, but I've searched for a few keywords, which I think are important qualities of a health service. I haven't managed to find the following words: quality, sustainable, waiting, accountable, value, reliable, resilient, transparency, equality (or inequality).
I did manage to find: personal (as in budgets, not care), morale (bureaucracy bad for..., not reorganisation bad for...)
