Their bank accounts health come first before the population’s health.
It’s that simple ,
Lobbying = Corruption
Cash for contracts from lobbyists or crooks as we know them .
Fraud on an industrial scale by government MPs.

A colleague of mine was adament that the health crisis was due to mismanagment. That almost all amnagement was complicit in causing the dire situation of the NHS.
What stats, facts do I need to contest this theory?

Spend £100 in the NHS, £100 goes into healthcare. Spend it in the Independent sector and every penny left after profit, dividends, marketing and bonuses have been paid will go into healthcare …. Maybe as much as £60! Bargain eh?

Donations!

I said on a different platform that whilst the first might help I was concerned it could be the start of the slippery slope towards US style privatisation.

One person accused me of scaremongering and thought I was worrying over nothing if it is just being used to cut waiting lists.

No doubt just as Hancock is,many taking "donations" from private health firms,or investment firms looking to make some easy money, the whole privatisation of anything within the NHS just stinks.
