Instant reactions to the Darzi review

Organisations respond to Lord Darzi's review of the health service

NHS Confederation: Will enable a major improvement in quality of care and patient experience if the NHS at a local level is given the space to make the changes

NHS Employers: Broad welcome but concerns about some of the structural arrangements, in particular centralising workforce planning and education commissioning

Healthcare Commission: "A real chance of helping to improve the quality of care that patients receive. The proposals should be given a fair wind - they deserve one." Sir Ian Kennedy, chair

Monitor: "Recommendations will force quality to the top of boards' agendas in the NHS, which is exactly where it should be." William Moyes, chair

British Medical Association: "There is much here that could bring about improvement - if it can be delivered." Hamish Meldrum, chair of council

King's Fund: No top-down reorganisation or any dramatic changes in direction. Report is a sensible set of measures to improve quality and equity, placing responsibility with staff at local level

National Patient Safety Agency: Review affirms the place of patient safety at the heart of a 21st-century NHS

Royal College of Surgeons: Failure to specifically establish a national trauma network a missed opportunity

Royal College of Midwives: Review is quality and choice-heavy, but the reality in maternity services is too often choice-light

Mind: Review puts mental health at the heart of NHS for first time, but areas of inequality must be urgently addressed

NHS Support Federation: A storm of controversy will spread over many English towns and cities if ideas like super surgeries are imposed

Sane: Closest yet to the positive rights to care and treatment for people with mental illness

Unite: New constitution "a milestone"

Turning Point: Primary care services will need to include social services to deliver improvements

Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry: A huge leap forward in driving the use of best available treatment

Health Foundation: Hits all the right buttons with emphasis on quality

General Medical Council: Emphasis on education and training is welcome
