King’s Fund gets a schooling on NHS privatisation | SKWAWKBOX
Not for sale – except under the Tories: It turns out that the money given to private health businesses within the NHS has more than doubled in the last 11 years or so.
This is fun – except if you’re from the King’s Fund, of course.
… and the Tory government…
Have a look:
An influential ‘independent’ think-tank that once recommended the cutting back of ‘acute’ health services has published a Twitter thread claiming that the Tories’ privatisation of the NHS is a ‘myth’, because – supposedly – the proportion of NHS spending on provision by private firms has stayed ‘broadly stable’ for the past ten years.
Pro-NHS campaigner ToryFibs demolished this nonsense with plain fact, in a response quoting the official figures from the House of Commons Library that show the proportion of NHS spending going to private – and usually Tory-donating – firms has almost doubled in that period.
