No need to privatise NHS
On September 19 you reported on the findings of the British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists, a report that may cause concern to people with hearing loss awaiting help.
Excessive waiting times for NHS patients wanting help with their hearing, and a BHSAA eager to help.
But it seems the information comes from yet another faction of private business trying to muscle in on the NHS.
Up and down the country Unison members and many other individuals are campaigning to keep a public National Health Service, to stem the rush to privatisation.
It is obvious common sense that if an undisclosed amount of a budget goes towards private profit then the amount available to the end users of any service is decreased.
There is absolutely no need for private intervention.
