They don't advertise that they have a Virgin Care sub brand unsurprisingly.

Although in the case of that article, Virgin are not rebranding Surrey Community Health to Virgin Care (for now).
Virgin Care sounds like a totally different service!

And you can also thank Blair and Brown they started it, Dave is just finishing it off for them.
greedy politicians of all party's should be shot for what they are doing/have done to the NHS. the latest health bill is a nail in the coffin and is a tory wet dream, it basically gives private fat cats tax money for providing worse nhs services, well done dave and nick you **** tards

Oh I know Labour are as bad!
21 posts in nearly 10 years? Blimey.
I'm not familiar with the NHS proposals as I don't live in the UK. However, here we are looking at how to restructure the provision of public health due to the impending "demographic timebomb" which will lead to the current level of service becoming totally inaffordable. I imagine the UK faces a similar prospect. There is a lot of sense in going down the user pays route but I'm not entirely convinced.
What other health services have people experienced?
Preempting Dolph's standard 68 billion 1000 million and 68 extra deaths attributable to the NHS appeal to emotion I'll post the subsequent data which says the following:

This is better news.
Now we can sue private companies who mess up rather than the taxpayer

Will be more of what happens now which is private companies mess up and the NHS has to pick up the pieces. Vanc levels you say? What are them? Oh dear this one's Cr has gone over 500 - best send them to the NHS.

Yes. Because what the country *really* needs is healthcare provided by businesses that put profit before people.

Good news for once. Hopefully privatising nhs means i can have my "con-tribution" national uninsurance back.
Why? It is still being paid by taxation thankfully.
Won't that depend upon how the contracts are written up?
Why is taking lessons from other European countries with much better healthcare outcomes than we have a bad idea?
Labour completed the experiment of pouring money into an unreformed NHS and it showed no improvements in deaths amenable to healthcare.

shhh dolph we all know you have some sort of crusade against the entire NHS based on probably a bad experience, well good luck with virgin health cos youre gonna be left dying on a trolly as they will cut corners and staffing to make money
Perhaps you should take a leaf out of the Scottish example; again?
Or do we not count due to our UK insignificance factor?
