However, I don't go along with the idea that profit taken by the private sector has to drain the Health Service of money. Unfortunately, the decision makers who have turned to the private sector for help (PFIs in particular) have done so in the most inept fashion which has piled on unnecessary costs. If done appropriately, the efficiencies introduced by entering into contracts with the private sector enable the contractor to make a profit from part of the savings, with the rest going back into the NHS. I have achieved this myself in my area of work, so I know it works. The efficiencies that can be gained for the NHS in this way are massive. We need to use whichever methods work to achieve the ideal arrangements for the NHS and not get so hung up on who is providing the service. ---------- Post added at 10:10 ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 ---------- Quote:
I do take my hat off to the many good, professional consultants, nurses and doctors who work in the NHS, but unfortunately I do actually witness all too many who do not reach those high standards. Given the severe staff shortages that exist, it is not easy to let the bad eggs go, because that means even less resource available for patients. |
