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. "
What can we infer from the third paragraph?
选项
A、The economic factor and medical environment make the chain hospital feasible.
B、Standalone hospitals are no longer supported by the government for political reasons.
C、Chain hospitals used to be common in the history of many other countries.
D、The response to the chain hospitals is not right at the time.
答案
A
解析
第三段最后一句就是答案来源句:economic factor and medical environment=economicand clinical circumstances。feasible意为“可行的”。最后一句就是在告诉我们:现在做出的回应是由这些因素和环境决定的。再次提醒:段落推理题答案来自首末句、观点句和转折处的可能性是最大的。因此答案选[A]。[B]选项中are no longer supported by the government forpolitical reasons“出于政治原因而不被政府支持”在文中没有依据;[C]中used to的意思就是“过去这样,现在不这样”,所以和原文第一句是矛盾的,原文中很明确地说到了“现在在其他国家也是很常见的”;[D]选项是我拼凑出来的一个选项。
