91热爆

Some of the biggest changes ever made to the NHS come into force this week. GP's now have the responsibility of shaping local services and deciding who provides them - a process already well underway in Northamptonshire.

Thre's also the launch of a brand new non-emergency helpline. NHS 111 has replaced NHS Direct and is now available for people who need medical help or advice which does not warrant an emergency call to 999.

Reporter Mark Jones asks people in Northampton if they've had issues getting a GP appointment, while Stuart talks to Fred Evans who is on the board of Northamptonshire Link, and to Dr Kamal Sood, the clinical lead for 111 services in Northamptonshire.
