If CircleBath was an NHS hospital it would have been put into administration by now. Instead, it is allowed to threaten the viability of the local NHS trust by poaching patients and treating them for NHS rates that are less than they need to sustain the hospital.Cockroach Catcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440000294855006966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629209057489249999.post-9969124685506257852012-07-04T17:59:33.562-04:002012-07-04T17:59:33.562-04:00Anonymous.

You may well be working at the Hosp or part of Ali' team, it does not matter. Read Allyson Pollock in the Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jun/29/pfi-crippling-nhs and it would be clear. Who would you suggest to manage: Fred or Bod as both are out of a job now. Money people crippled our Banks and saddle us with debt for generations. Lawyers got us contracts on PFI that is one sided, remember Metronet, they wereprivate and went bust on PFI, we paid over 400 million. <br /><br />NHS Hosp. has problems from stupid regulations and the Choice agenda. Ali Parsa is no doubt very smart as the Cirlce run Hinchingbrooke does not do everything. No dialysis and others.<br /><br />Hinchingbrooke should have gone bankrupt and be rid of PfI and start againas NHS.<br /><br />The govt can borrow money (or print) at a very low interest rate. That is what they should have done.<br /><br />Goldman Sachs of course was a brilliant bank and helped to hide the debt of Greece before they joint monetary union. ali Parsa of Hinchingbrooke was formerly of Goldman Sachs. <br /><br />I rest my case.Cockroach Catcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440000294855006966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629209057489249999.post-61670618782982509842012-07-03T16:57:02.301-04:002012-07-03T16:57:02.301-04:00Interesting blogg.

I would suggest your bias is aligned to the NHS but I fail to understand how people still seem to think the existing NHS business model is workable when it clearly repeatedly fails. HINCHINGBROOKE would close if it continued being run by the NHS - fact! The NHS largely runs by superb nurses and doctors but who unfortunately are not business people and not leaders or managers. Treating people is a business especially if we want to not waste money but reinvest it for our patients. Maybe you could suggest how or what you would do to make HINCHINGBROOKE a success?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
