YOUR COMPLAINT:
Complaint Summary: Not enough coverage in general news of end of NHS
Full Complaint: Not enough. This is the end of the greatest national institution! Not enough analysis, not enough simple news, no how this will affect you etc. I watched the Lords vote on your niche interest and niche viewing figures parliament channel, but I am talking about the national and regional news progs on BBC1. Shameful. It is a political act to have so little coverage, the BBC has a responsibility to educate about these changes before and as they happen.

Thank you again for contacting us.

Dear Mr Cook
Thanks for contacting us regarding BBC News’ coverage of the debate and vote on Section 75 of the Health and Social Bill in the House of Lords on 24 April 2013.
BBC News has regularly covered and will continue to cover the changes in the NHS. Accordingly, we have reported on the progression of this bill through Parliament. The BBC News website reported on the most recent Lords debate and vote at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-22268417
BBC Parliament provided live coverage of the debate and vote on 24 April and broadcast highlights of the session on 25 April. The full session can still be seen on the BBC’s Democracy Live website at:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/house-of-lords-22283592
We feel it is important to add that 24 April was a strong news day for health stories, with a number competing for space during our bulletins. On the evening of the vote and into the next day, BBC News covered the following health stories: growing pressure on Accident and Emergency Units and the subsequent discussion during Prime Minister’s Questions, the cosmetic surgery review, hospital mortality statistics, measles figures for England and a report on sugary drinks causing 20% more diabetes.
BBC News believes our health teams have reflected the movement of this bill through Parliament and other developments within the NHS across a range of our coverage.
We'd also like to assure you that we've registered your complaint on our Audience Log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that’s made available to all BBC staff, including members of the BBC Executive board, channel controllers and other senior managers.
The Audience Logs are seen as important documents that can help shape decisions on future BBC programmes and content.
Once again, thank you for contacting us.
Kind Regards
BBC Complaints
