@commenting2008 Not debating complete privatisation -doesn't reduce health inequalities or give us better healthcare (although it is fair). I am, however, all for doing without expensive bureaucracy, which labour pioneered. Shifting responsibility to GPs saves a lot of money.
@J1nsc Your argument makes no sense - and quoting the inverse care law doesn't help one cent - even if the rich go private and (potentially) reduce their use of NHS services doesn't make a case for wholesale privatisation of NHS.
@commenting2008 Makes no sense to you, because you're not in a position to appreciate the wider picture. Google: 'Inverse care law'. Think about who pays for the NHS and who uses it. Then think about who funds private healthcare but never uses it. You'll hopefully realise the two are symbiotic. NHS would be crippled if no one went private. I know, because I've worked in both. The average Joe, however, thinks the exact opposite because of the way it's marketed in the UK.
@J1nsc PCT managers wrongdoings - it might be news to you but PCTs don't have monopoly on scandals. If you care to read some real newspapers you'll find all sorts of organisations - private or public of all sizes - suffered scandals. Enron isn't just a play you know?
@J1nsc Money doesn't follow patients? There is something called "Payment by Results" if you have ever heard of it. Which this government is going to extend to the operation of job centres, reformation of criminals, etc. If you are going to be a fanboy of the coalition govt at least be thorough about it.
@J1nsc Jeez you can't even write comprehensively. NHS loves private health care?! NHS as in the health workers or the patients? Makes no sense at all. BTW it's VERY sad that you call JRSM a tabloid. You either don't know what a tabloid is or what JRSM is.

JRSM is the daily sport of medical literature. But then again you already knew that.

@J1nsc It's so funny that you think everyone - like you - wants to get into medical school and fail.

@commenting2008 It's called rebanding. Ask any SHO is the UK
