Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well as a counterpoint, I'm personally now thoroughly bored of the left's ongoing campaign of 'weaponising the NHS', to quote former Labour leader Ed Miliband. The left would rather see patients suffer in a vast, unmanageable, outdated institution than contemplate the horror of a successfully reformed NHS incorporating a significant private component.
> NHS incorporating a significant private component. We already have a significant private component, and it's piss poor. Look at all the scandals in Priory Group, or Cygnet, or similar. See also the numbers of private providers in the CQC recent inspections that were inadequate: https://www.cqc.org.uk/search/services/all?f%5B0%5D=im_field...
Perhaps the NHS should manufacture its own ambulances as well?
