Dr Yesterday afternoon I was on LBC Radio discussing the private provision of public services.

I pointed out that for the NHS has had more than 60 years to get the provision of healthcare right and that it is failing at every turn with almost daily stories of neglect and mismanagement.

I put forward the NFR view that all provision of care for NHS patients should be in the private sector, that no hospital or clinic should be owned or run by the NHS and that the NHS should be recast as a funding organisation only.
