Exactly my take. As it is many functions in the NHS are partly or wholly privately sourced. I couldn't care a fig who provides the service or whether they actually make a profit out of it.
Too many people think the NHS should be run for the benefit of those who work for it rather than the patients it is there to provide for. |
Working the the NHS as i do i think you are being a little harsh there.
As we are seeing with the JSA workfare scheme being investigated several times by the police in relation to A4e once you have profit hungry companies involved and large amounts of money changing hands,private companies have been involved in the NHS in the shape of PFI and look what has happened.

A word of warning to all those wishing to see a much greater involvement of private companies in the NHS be careful of what you wish for the companies are not be run by charites.
