Hi Tricky , Totally Health care was only set up 5 months prior to Covid 19 and the restrictions placed was for urgent care and not comfort care. This had a major impact on the new division to help out.
To put what totally health do is a simple but makes life easy on the patients , so you have example 30 patients who require a operation on knee operations but the problem is the nearest specialised hospital is 100 miles away.
Solution bring the the doctors and nurses to the local hospital , only one down side all patients must attend within a set period.
The upside is lower cost for the NHS as sending patients away cost 2 to 4 times that of operations cost.
All hospitals are specialised in a area example , Cambridge heart surgery , Belfast Knee surgery's and head injury's .
The disgrace is that there are now over 10 million operations required now , 17% of population
totally have not really gone down the private route but embraced NHS , Wendy the CEO talks as still working for the NHS.
Totally turnover was in excess of £100 million and made over £4 million last year then taking into loses on previous years was a net loss.
This year looking to be £2 million to £4 million , can not say as in accounts they still have loses to account for.
You are correct about fraud but this is mainly down to agency staff , which is not time logged.
Im one of the biggest fans of the NHS , my wife is a intensive care nurse and overwork not paid for over hours thats another story but its the middle management and higher management that creates wastes.
Example budget not spent so buy anything to ensure same budget next year , i.e £40k on a new bed not required so goes in stored.
You have to watch Wendy Blogs , the passion just flows.
