I'm no fan of Streeting but he's been very consistent here; use private to reduce backlogs whilst simultaneously increasing NHS capacity.
If he does this, I don't see the problem. If he doesn't, well, fuck him.
2Private to reduce backlogs is a scam, it's an excuse to divert funding. It only make sense if you don't think about it at all.
Every single conservative government around the world spins up a different reason why privatization is the answer, because they are drooling at the idea of having it run like the U.S
10The problem is that we have to stick with our utterly dreadful healthcare purely for ideological reasons.
When the right do this on a particular policy, it's rightly denounced. When the left do it, it's "morally correct".
-3It's not for ideological reasons, and nobody is saying there shouldn't be a reform. Investing in private healthcare is a scam and not the proper way to reform. It's almost impossible to go back from depending on the private sector, so they are trying to just get your feet wet.
If you think It's hard to reform a public system, wait till its all tangled with private care, hiring more private care while we take care of the backlog of weaning off private care? The only investments made should be public, and drastic.

I hate Wes Streeting with the fire of a thousand burning suns.
1Commies hate anything private.
More breaking news as we get it.
-11It definitely has nothing to do with the hundreds of examples where privatization caused immense damage, and almost no examples of where it helped, especially when it comes to something that doesn't fit offer and demand, like health.
