Last week, I spoke against the NHS and whole idea of socialised medicine at an Oxford Union debate. Against me were the usual political class types including Andrew Lansley MP (Conservative Shadow Secretary of State for Health), Kevin Barron MP (Labour), Norman Lamb MP (Liberal Democrat) and that doyen of producer power and legislative favour, the President of the British Medical Association, Professor Averil Mansfield.
It was a great evening and everyone enjoyed themselves hugely. I certainly did and was delighted to have on my side the top cancer specialist Dr. Karol Sikora. He has long demanded changes to the ‘Stalinist NHS Quango’ and all in all we had immense fun together.
