EveryDoctor’s map of NHS privatisation

  1. Anyone ever wonder why the NHS budget gets bigger but yet the service gets poorer? This map answers that question.

    ​

    Edit: Chunks of my hospitals NHS budget goes to Bridgepoint capital and Totally Plc, two companies that love to splash out NHS money on shareholders.

  2. Seems to be missing all the GP practices that are privately owned and have been since the inception of the NHS.

  3. When they started up they had Matt Hancock as their twitter banner.

    Over the last 15 years the has been campaign after campaign of bright young things claiming to be the new saviours of the NHS.

    For the most part they are useful idiots often with a trail leading back to the BMA who have been throwing the NHS under the bus since before it even started.

  4. What level of privatisation is acceptable? And how is that distinguished? Should the NHS manufacture and produce its own medication/medical equipment/bed linen etc etc or are these allowed?

  5. Remember when the NHS kept everything in-house so costs could be effectively controlled.

    …there wasn’t enough profit for friends & donors, so now we just outsource everything at greater expense while claiming the NHS is unaffordable so we can outsource even more & sell more assets.

  6. Thing is GPs who work in commissioning groups know fuck all about managing 100’s millions of pounds in and asset investment, (clinical equipment, fleet management, IT, etc) and these guys want to make money for themselves.

    A mile being removed off your back – yes it’s cheaper to be done in their practice and may be more convenient for the patient too, but doing these types of simple high profit procedures the. dilute cost effectiveness of the facilities in hospitals where average costs per procedure go up.
