Seems a bit cynical when you don't even know what any proposed changes might be. Besides, can you suggest a workable and sustainable solution to the current NHS crisis which is likely to work in the long term and doesn't involve changing the NHS? If so I'd love to hear it...
I've first hand experience of the vast improvement resulting from certain aspects being "privatised", i.e. audiology. First time around, several years ago, it took several months to get an NHS hearing aid, including 2 GP appts, separate appts for a hearing test, consultant appt, initial fitting and final fitting and along the way, the inevitable cancelled appointments, running late, etc - the usual NHS bureacratic inefficiency in action. Hearing aid never worked properly even after several more appts so I gave up wearing it.
A few years ago, my wife needed a hearing aid, but was offered a choice of Specsaver or NHS - after my experience, she chose Specsaver. All done in one single appt, hearing test, fitting, etc. Worked perfectly, never needed to go back at all except for batteries.
Then this last Summer, my hearing had got worse, so I tried to use my old hearing aids again after a period of probably 3 years left in their box. Still useless, so I thought I'd try my luck to see if I could get a direct appt with NHS audiology for them to be reset again. What a revelation, no problem getting an appointment, literally 2 days later. Went in, on time, explained problems, offered a new hearing test, again, just a week later. Just had the hearing test and given a new pair of hearing aids straight after the hearing test in the same appt. Work perfectly!
So, it seems that despite the nasty tories and their cuts, NHS audiology has improved massively over the past few years - far better than under the Labour govt. I mentioned the speed and improvement in service and the guy who did the hearing test and gave me the new aids said it was down to Specsaver competition in that they needed to match the service otherwise everyone would go to Specsaver instead! That's an example of how free market competition (privatisation for Tory haters) can actually improve service under the NHS - it gives them the impetus to improve and offer a better service - eliminating the attitude of too many NHS staff who think (and some even say) "you're not paying so you can't expect a top quality service - be grateful for what you get 'cos it's free"!!
