It is understandable that there is now much fear that the NHS will be privatised. Such a general statement is difficult to argue against.
The sad truth is of course about the government wanting to get rid of the costly burden of HOSPITALS. Yes, that is my view.
Why else would they have given so much "commissioning" power over to GPs? It was the accountants' neat way to contain the total health care cost. Government no longer wants to fund Hospitals and all those connected with it.
What about the Consultants and Nurses: Consultants will work for the Private Sector and that means the pension pot will dwindle. Nurses: well according to all management consultants they employed, they can be sacked. In fact most CEOs who are highly paid use that one tool to up their bonus. Some even go off on sick leave after a few months.
But some HOSPITALS will be left behind so the NHS will technically not be fully privatised. Who else will look after the unprofitable patients.
What Consultant would work in it then! Good question. Perhaps GP Commissioners will run those and use OOH doctors from Serco. That is called integration.
Sorted!

David Cameron & NHS: Private Failures & Public Rescues
The best views are free and the best advice is often free.

Imagine a society where you take your beloved car to a Private Garage for some repair work and it turns out that the Private Garage did a very bad job and did serious damage to the engine, transmission and other unknown bits. Now imagine that there is a State run National Car Service that will put right everything and at no cost to you and no charge to the Private Garage that did the damage in the first place.
Would it not be wonderful?
In health care, you already have that right now and it is called the National Health Service. It is free even if the damage was done by a private doctor and treatment will be for as long as it takes. The private doctor will not be charged any fee and some even continues to practice here or in other countries.
Soon, such a National Car Health Service may not be there!
The Guardian
David Cameron is to "completely change" public services, bringing in a "presumption" that private companies, voluntary groups or charities are as able to run schools, hospitals and many other council services as the state.

Writing in the Daily Telegraph about the plans…………..the prime minister says he is seeking to end the "state's monopoly" over public services, with only the security forces and judiciary exempt.
It was one of my Coackroach News Catches over the last week-end and it concerns the mother of Rheagan Hendry; wife of former Scotland
In 2002, Denise checked into a private clinic for what should have been a straightforward procedure to remove fat from her stomach. Afterwards she spent six weeks in intensive care (in NHS hospital), the surgeon having repeatedly punctured her bowel.
In the next seven years (again under the NHS) she endured more than 20 operations to repair the damage before succumbing to meningitis in 2009. She was 43.

Read all about it here>>>>
The surgery was performed by Dr Gustaf Aniansson (from Sweden), at the private Broughton Park Hospital near Preston, Lancashire . Dr Gustaf Aniansson took himself off the GMC register so that he could not be struck off and it was believed he continues to practice in Sweden
In the new world order of our NHS, private provider (AQW)for commercial reasons need not let the public have access to information about their activities etc, and even the doctors they provide. As they say, be very afraid.
Another case happened a little while back and again it was a private cosmetic operation that went wrong and the NHS tried to look after the patient for over six months. Read all about it here>>>>
Even as we like our NHS as much as our woods: looks like private providers for public services is in the PM's mind. Sometimes it is public (taxpayer) money for private failures: catastrophic failures when it is someone's life.
