    Its people like you who are creating havoc for the NHS. The additional cost of attending 'private hospitals' is debited to the NHS, whilst they sponge off the NHS for x-rays and other tests. If I had my way there would be NO private hospitals, NO private tractices

    It is the people who have private medical insurance who fund the private hospitals. So in reality the NHS are saving on their care.
    I did not ask for treatment at one of them and I have been assured that they are not making additional profits while allowing NHS consultants to use their facilities.
    In fact, the lack of miles of red tape may have even cut costs.
    Prior to covid, I had an appointment with a specialist and I was the only one of his 30 patients to turn up.
    It was discovered that the NHS central outpatients booking team had sent the other 29 patients to the wrong hospital.
    Since a mobile MRI scanner had been booked for the day, this cock up had cost the NHS £12.000. Enough to keep me in smoked salmon sandwiches for the rest of my life.

    PS, My sandwich was made by members of the hospital staff who prepare food for the staff and patients at the same time. Meanwhile the NHS spend tens of thousands using private catering companies to heat slush in a microwave. Even the nurses will not eat the rubbish.

    I am certain that if you ran one of these inefficient NHS monstrosities, you could improve the service and cut costs within a year. You could start off by cutting the 24 hour heating bill that simply keeps the viruses and bacteria alive and well. Next employ some cleaners and kick out the cleaning companies who make vast profits while paying the staff minimum wages and refusing to buy them a new broom.
    You may even be willing to work for slightly less than £180,000 per year to manage the shambles.

    Bullshit !!! - Private hospitals and private treatments, are as I said previously sponging off the NHS, since blood tests and other tests are conducted by and in NHS facilities, thus 'jumping the queue' for other NHS patients. Consultants working part-time in private practice whilst employed by the NHS are equally depriving the NHS and their patients of the full service and facilities of the NHS.

    That is a real problem in some areas, but a few of them have got their fingers burnt.
    This is mainly when the NHS have taken on younger staff at a lower cost.

    A few years ago, London ambulance forced staff (including myself) to retire at 60, then replaced them with staff who they had trained with a 3 year £18,000 pa contract.

    Vlad doesn't speak for all on here VG, Free speech is an allowance not afforded to all, with education often coming from those whose views are detached and therfore can be more objective
