A really difficult one to answer Alan. I think it will suit some more than others. Thinking of maybe the elderly, local tratment will be better for them, as long as the quality provided is to the same standards as before (maybe better??)
It could be that the treatment lottery system be made less prevalent so we can all beneift from specialist care, where ever we live.. as long as we are prepared to travel.
I think the general concensus will be one of 'if we can get the same standard of treatment or better' everyone will be happy. The proof I think will be in the pudding as they say
