Companies that add pharmaceutical labels to their products have been given the chance to find out more about the government's planned NHS reforms.
Last year, the Department of Health (DoH) published factsheets on the proposed changes, which are outlined in the Health and Social Care Bill.
Now that the Bill is being considered by the House of Lords, the government has updated the factsheets to accommodate recent amendments.
The documents include an overview of the draft legislation and explanations of its main themes.
The planned reforms to the NHS have divided medical professionals and put political pressure on both prime minister David Cameron and health secretary Andrew Lansley in recent months.
However, the government believes the changes form a "crucial part" of its efforts to modernise the health service.
The DoH said that under the new system, the NHS will be "built around patients, led by health professionals and focused on delivering world-class healthcare outcomes".
