I would be interested in hearing what people think of the privatisation of the NHS. The Tories are all for it and Labour don't seem to mind at all. All governments from Thatcher onwards have been increasing the involvement of private companies in the NHS, particularly Blair. When I needed a hernia operation a couple of years ago, the queues in NHS hospitals were about 12months then but as it would be a straight forward procedure, I was suitable for a local private hospital. I wasn't happy but a 12 month wait seemed a long time. This was my second one. In 2006, when I needed one. the wait was about 6 weeks.
Now, they have run the NHS down cutting beds and staff so more and more will be done by private companies (for the good of the NHS of course). I've no idea why but the politicians, most of them, seem to want it to be more like the USA system. They are all very rich people but seem to want to make themselves more money at the expense of the British health system. Very little, if anything of what they are doing is reported in the media.
