Hip replacement - what is the NHS cost vs referral to private provider? Profit and greed are not compatible with altruism. Of the NHS budget how much is used up by supplier profit requirements & shareholder dividends before the service is provided? That cost could have been used for NHS services

@andyburnham.bsky.social please get rid of all PFIs from our public services. Everything has gone wrong since the private sector got involved with the NHS, they have to make a profit for shareholders making money from people's fear and misery. Dentistry, opticians & mental health help included

I hope so too, however looking into it further the gov's press releases were updated as Trump 8hrs ago, Zelenskyy 6 and Macron 4. Maybe the reports about congratulations were messages rather than the calls I thought they mentioned? If correct that is disappointing
