NHS: the future?

Tony Blair has promised that 40% of NHS work will
be carried out by the private sector by 2008.

What does this mean for our health service?

GPs are forced to buy operations from Independent
sector treatment centres and have to pay even when
they don’t do the operations. Last year Nottingham
paid £3.97m for procedures in 2005 - but more than
£2.5m worth of operations were never performed.

Health Visitors in Sheffield have been threatened with
one third of their jobs to
be cut.

Sheffield Children’s hospital is due to cut £9 million
from this years’ budget . Blood Transfusion centres
are to be slashed resulting in job losses and leaving
Manchester to cover the whole of the North of England.

These are just a few examples, the speed of the take
over by the private sector is about to increase
dramatically in the NHS and profit will come before
patient care.
