    The public is having the NHS sold out from under them. We are paying private contractors to do NHS work at far far higher cost than we fund the NHS. Why? Because funding is cut so far, to save money, to then spend more than we’ve saved on these private businesses. Many of whom have very important politicians onboard, with no idea save as to getting paid. Patients and healthcare staff screwed by the upcoming cuts to NHS England and the ICBs. The “savings” are not being redirected anywhere. The holes are starting to appear already.
