(not satire – it’s George Osborne!)
George Osborne announced last week he was going to devolve responsibilities and funding for NHS healthcare in Manchester to local authorities.
The only problem is, it turns out he omitted to consult with the local medical committees about the proposals.
Local Medical Committees are the professional organisations which represent individual GPs and local GP practices.
Which means Osborne completely forgot to consult the main professionals affected by his proposals – namely GPs.
Oops!

Reblogged this on Beastrabban’s Weblog and commented:
This says a lot about the attitude of the governments involved in the backdoor privatisation of the NHS. They have never wanted to consult the NHS staff themselves. Private Eye ran a series of stories in their ‘In The Back’ column during the Bliar and Brown years about NHS hospitals that were handed over to private healthcare firms expressly against the wishes of local doctors and medical professionals.
This is not a blunder. During the 1990s when Major’s government introduced the internal market, the British Medical Association condemned it for creating a ‘two-tier’ health service. They also attacked NHS privatisation under Bliar. Indeed, one doctor was so concerned about Bliar’s privatisation of the local hospital in his area that he formed his own independent party campaigning for the NHS and against PFI hospitals, stood for election and won, beating the Labour candidate.
The NHS doctors, surgeons and nurses recognise this as an attempt to privatise the NHS. That’s why Osbo didn’t consult them. He already knew what their answer would be.

bob chewie: Hi, matey!! ….Well,look, if you’re looking for some unusual hard case copy, you may just like to google this story from the Otago Daily Times in Dunedin, which is headlined rather dramatically: “Car crashes into cow — driver sets fire to cowshed”

jaypot2012: Osborne happens to be one of the Gideon’s Biblical Tribe of people… …You open up their Bible and on the very first page, it sayeth: “And lo, there cameth a strange man from out of the Tribe of Gideon, who when he wath birthed wath found to be without any brain cell matter…. And thus it cameth to pass that the Headsman Chief of the Gideons sayeth unto the people: Let us therefore in our sadnesses and weeping nameth him “Schlemiel” for short because everything that he doeth ith a blunder…….” :))

So.. the public is solidly against NHS privatization. NHS professionals are firmly against NHS privatization. There are no votes to be had in NHS privatization.
You do have to wonder, given all this, why politicians are so keen on pushing NHS privatization…
