Private companies making a profit. We can’t have that can we Morning Star ?
Oh no, private cleaners and canteen staff, how could we
And doctors make even more profit from the NHS, according to that newspaper.
With no details on who those contracts were with and for what.
£15 million every week for two years. Nigel and his barrow boys will make this look like peanuts
What you’re telling me the NHS doesn’t make its own computers?
And this is how the NHS has been getting privatised without electoral consent. What I’d like to see is how their contributions have assisted while generating that profit.
It is a public service, that is £1.6Bn that should be on services infrastructure and salaries
Lots of services within the NHS cannot be kept in house. Computer systems dont build themselves, buildings for staff to work dont get build by themselves, maintenance and upkeep of the buildings is cheaper to pay someone to do it. Supplies need purchasing etc
Saying „oh that could pay for 9,178 doctors“ is meaningless because doctors need a building and a computer system to work in the first place.
You could argue private companies charge an arm and a leg sure, but why are people always shocked private companies are needed within the NHS
I’m still trying to puzzle out how my GP surgery can hire 2 separate layers of admin staff in another building to act as a buffer between patients and reception. You can’t speak to a receptionist, but the admin staff also can’t access your medical records, so they just take notes and pass them on like Chinese whispers.
They can’t cancel appointments or reschedule, just tell you they can’t see your appointment or records and to expect reception to respond in 2 days.
What a huge waste of money.
This would cover a £20,000 pay rise for all resident doctors currently working for the NHS.
Explain why we can’t afford to give them a pay rise to stop them going on strike?
In other terms, 0.44% of the NHS budget in England.
they cant afford to pay for nurses but can afford to pay for private companies profit
The left think profit is why things are expensive, while everyone else recognises the profit motive is why things are cheap.
Anyway, £1.6bn in profit is only a bad thing if the public sector (or another private company) could have done the same quality of job for less.
The NHS’s budget was £400+ billion during the same period.
The NHS budget for 2024/25 was approximately £242 billion btw.
