LOL – but, the NHS is not at risk of privatisation.. especially not with Javid (the health sec) taking £100k a year from JPMorgan, the same JPMorgan that states in its yearly financial reports that the bank sees ‘huge opportunities in U.K. healthcare’.
>Man with zero healthcare experience to be in charge of National Health Service (but don’t worry, he’ll only be working 2-3 days a week).
I’m sure this will be great for morale, and definitely won’t lead to more privatisation…
So this fuckwit gets 63k for working two days a week. He’s a banker. Wtf does he know about health care? Nothing?
Ok, proceed.
Thank god we have the most qualified man for the job
Ah FFS, this guy is a chartered accountant, who’s been head of TSB since 2018. When a firm is run by accountants it tends to be penny pinching and moral dives.
So whilst I can see the Government’s POV of wanting the NHS to deliver value for money, having an accountant at the helm who is looking at the cost/value seems to be at odds with the great work done by the day to day staff. The NHS needs slow incremental change and additional monies to function properly not someone trying to pinch every penny.
I can only describe what we are seeing all over the private and public sector as managerialism. The new elites are there to manage the complexities they have bestowed upon us. To export power to unelected committees. It’s the same old nonsense since the post-feudal era or the USSR.
They have perfected corporate double-speak and are entirely unaccountable.
I know a lot of people disagree with this but in all honesty on the board of the NHS needs to be built with diverse skill sets and this man certianly has one. The current chair is someone who studied finance. Yes you need Doctors and healthcare professionals on the board but you also absolutely need financial experts and even former military. They all bring in a different dimension. A doctor running the NHS probably wouldn’t be the best idea he wouldn’t have the first clue how to run it.
So a bunch of banker friends from big banks are running the government and the NHS and we’re expected to do as they say regarding COVID as if they aren’t acting expressly in their own self-interest or else we’re anti-vaxxers?
Just give me 3 more jabs and a few Pfizer anti-viral pills which are clearly not just a minor modifcation of Ivermectin

Why is a banker head of a health service? Is that not a job for like a healthcare specialist like a nurse or doctor? Or is that old fashioned?
Because bankers understand health services soooo well. 🤦
He’s taking a pay cut for that elusive House of Lords seat…
