 Strikes - Manatee
>>Tories have held power for 30 of the last 43 years. Were the intention to dismantle the NHS it would have happened by now. It has not - most Tories value the NHS, it would be electoral suicide.

I wish that were true.

The Tories see health as a huge investment (profit) opportunity, dwarfing all others, for their clients and their answer to every crisis is private suppliers. The PPE debacle is a just a case in point. There is already massive private involvement in the NHS, e.g. my wife has just had NHS cataract operations that were contracted from a private clinic. Many of the people walking around our local hospital are wearing Serco uniforms, and they aren't all cleaners. I haven't figured out what they actually are. Worst case for the Tories is that the NHS is simply privatised piecemeal.

Worst case for the NHS is that by allowing the NHS to collapse, or making it more expensive to run through creeping privatisation, it will only get easier to "prove" that it is unsustainable.

That might well already be the case in its current form, what I most fear for the NHS is that the illogical leap will be made to a private-insurance-based system which is hugely attractive to private capital in every way. We should probably be looking harder at how the French run their system that is believed to cost a similar amount but works better.
