(not satire – it’s the newly privatised NHS!)
Erm, is it only me that’s noticed the NHS budget has been handed over to a quack?
Dr Michael Dixon represents many of the 211 Clinical Commissioning Groups that last week took control of £65bn of health spending.
He is now being referred to as GP’s leader in the mainstream press and is already talking about closing NHS hospitals and handing over services to private GP consortiums.
So how come nobody seems to have noticed that Dr Dixon is the same Dr Dixon from the discredited Prince Charles’ quackery lobby group, the Foundation for Integrated Health – the lobbying group behind a lot of propaganda trying to push alternative medicines such as Thought Field Therapy and Frequencies of Brilliance into the NHS, so that private quacks individuals can get their hands on public money?
But don’t just take my word for Dr Dixon’s pushing of quackery in the NHS.
Here’s a profile of Dr Dixon from www.quackometer.net:
The Graceless Dr Michael Dixon OBE
Now I’m not trying to start a debate here on the pros and cons of alternative medicine. But can someone please tell how on earth such huge amounts of NHS money got put into the hands of such a controversial person without anyone noticing?
I think many years ago this is what would have been referred to in the mainstream press as a good old-fashioned ‘scandal’.
Don’t you?
.
Legal Note: Dr Dixon – please don’t embarrass yourself by using the public money you’ve just got your hands on to pay an expensive lawyer to send me one of those threatening libel notices people like you are so keen on throwing around. I’ll only ignore it. OK?

Please feel free to comment – you don’t need to register and I’m extremely minimal with the moderating – so please go ahead.

@Tom i am fascinated by press language..why didnt this fact ‘spark fury’ was it a ‘bombshell’ should we be in ‘shock’ is it a ‘scandal’ ??
puzzled as to why the daily heil etc isnt’ fuming’ about the 1.26 trillion of offshore unpaid taxes…funny why they keep quiet about this but then again why would they say anything bad against the royals..we should all quit moaning and wave our little flags ..and beat up disabled people..

The NHS and private practices are full of quacks whether it be in mainstream medicine and therapies or alternatives.

Richard – this is probably a fairly safe place to say it but don’t blame me if you get trolled for saying it.

If it dresses like a duck, walks like a duck, writes like a duck, carries out surgical procedures like a duck and quack-quacks like a duck….. my guess is it’s most likely a duck, but it may be something else… 🙂

When you talk about “closing NHS hospitals and handing over services to private GP consortiums.” you mean, I suppose, the same private GPs who send people to the hospitals in the first place. All GPs are private. they always have been.

@martin rathfelder no these are a consortium of gps in charge of a nhs 80 billion budget..so not the same thing..not only that but corps are rubbing their hands in glee hoping and succeeding in getting a huge slice of that budget in offering ‘services’ to ‘help’ gps with commisioning..
