Whilst outsourcing has its benefits. I’d still like to see them commit to funding growth within the nhs.
The NHS is failed experiment and shows why you let industries self regulate and compete in a free market economy.
Bottom line: You pay for what you get…and the government simply hasn’t paid
Imagine if the tories suggested this –
“omg outsourcing to their mates, classic tory sleaze!”
Remind me again what’s the difference between the Tory party and Keir’s Labour?
They don’t have the backing of the unions anymore so the door is wide open for private companies to get their hooks into the party
Sadly, it will be necessary until the NHS can be properly funded and staffed. I would rather it did not happen but there is no way the NHS will be able to clear its backlog without help from the private sector to some degree. This needs to be used to highlight how we need to plough more funding into the NHS and return it to a system that works well for people.
I currently work as a CAMHS paediatric psychologist in a PFI hospital and it is **not** fit for purpose. We have five clinical rooms to cover two counties and can’t move because we’re tied in to this premises. My job, also, currently involves primarily clearing up the mess that the private service we shipped in to help clear waiting times continuously dumps back on our doorstep after completing their ‘assessment’.
For the love of all that is unholy, can we stop thinking private services do anything other than cost the NHS in terms of money and time. I cannot take anymore idiots being paid more than me to do less and then having to clean up their mess as well.

Bizarre argument. In 2020 the NHS paid £400m a month for the entire capacity of private hospitals, but 2/3rds went unused — bc private hospitals don’t have doctors of their own. They contract NHS medics to work in their spare time.
A good start but full abolition would be preferable.
So the Tories want to dismantle and privatise the NHS, and Labour want to outsource NHS procedures to private providers to as though it’s helping out.
Neither parties see that properly funding, staffing etc. could be a way forward?
Fucking gross. They started privitisation with pfi’s and it was a total fuck up. It lined the pockets of the companies involved.
Streeting saying it was a success tells us all he’s already bought and paid for, along with the rest of starmers government.
Labours dead, Blue Labour is all that exists. Vote Tory or vote Tory.
Also notice how they slip in the ‘transphobes are people too’ line at the end, confirming Starmers long standing commitment to being a safespace for bigoted fuck sticks.
He’s a fucking weasel.
What’s the difference between private doctors and NHS doctors?
Answer: often none. Most private doctors are NHS (or ex-NHS) doctors who go private for supplementary income.
Private hospitals tend to be specialist hospitals for less complex, non emergency problems. If you have a problem with surgery in a private hospital you will be whisked into an NHS emergency department – that is, a real hospital.
This is just ineffectual “third way” waffling from Wes Streeting
