Tricky...
You say the picture that emerges is of NHS poorly equipped to ensure that health services out sourced to FOR PROFIT providers will provide safe high quality care and good value for money ,unquote.
Doesn't that just go to show why TLY are winning contracts for the NHS in the first place ! because they are judged to be the best ,otherwise they wouldn't get the contracts what's more they have vastly improved the quality of the service and furthermore, its in all probability better than the NHS can offer.
Also your typical comment about "for profit " providers,well do you really think you or the NHS can actually find non profit providers ? LOL
Look, whatever TLY actually charge the NHS it wont be half as much as they should be getting. they are not going to save the NHS money by running at a loss are they ? The NHS is a huge money devouring,in effficient white elephant that has always swollowed ever increasing amounts off the government ,any ther private company would have gone bust the way they are run and the government keep pileing money into it ,yes our money because it is the politicaly correct thing to do even though they must know most of it is wasted through inefficiences. some of this money goes to TLY as we all know
and,because they cannot hope to manage wthout TLY ,they help prop the NHS up,and with in terms of work
Having proved over decades that throwing money at the NHS never seems to help the only long term way is to privatize some if not all of it and have people pay a private health insurance cover instead of the atrocious national health contributions which are a tax in their own right. and this would be a huge benefit to TLY as a private practice. The NHS needs so much reform it would be better to start again .
