The government has agreed to make the main changes to its controversial NHS reforms in England that were recommended by an independent review. David Cameron said ministers had listened to fears about increased competition and more powers for GPs and would now slow the pace of change. Tonight we look at what is left of the bold, radical plan for reform that Health Secretary Andrew Lansley was convinced existed as recently as January, and we will ask him how he feels about the changes. Also, as the government admits it cannot force councils in England to provide weekly bin collections, we look at the tension between the centralised and devolved government. And Stephen Smith has been to Belgium to see Big Society in action on a grand scale in Brussels, where volunteers of every stripe take part in an annual city clean-up day.
