It is impossible to deny. Privatisation of the NHS is now in full swing.
The Government has forced £20billion of cuts on the health service during this parliament. And the impact has been huge.
Thousands of staff have been axed – or quit and not been replaced. Dozens of NHS walk-in centres, A&Es and maternity units have been shut or downgraded.
Starving it of funds means patients wait longer to see a GP, have vital tests or undergo operations.
The Government’s solution? Spend hundreds of millions of pounds hiring private firms to clear the backlog its cuts helped create in the first place. The danger is it stops being a national health service and becomes a private one.
And when firms discover they cannot profit they cut corners, make mistakes and then walk away.
Critics even say that cutting NHS funding was a deliberate ploy – that by running down the service that has served millions well since 1948 you might soften up the nation’s appetite for change.
And that it might make introducing private firms to deliver NHS care easier to accept by sceptical members of the public.
What is clear now, however, is that the NHS is in desperate need of a major cash injection – not private firms.
All the main political parties have pledged to boost its funding if they are elected in May.
They are promising it for the simple reason that if they don’t, the NHS will cease to exist.
