Except for the funding model, which will remain completely different. Much more similar to apparently successful European systems, which oddly enough don’t get a mention here.

“they will have limited budgets”

“Someone will have the job of denying something”

Ditto. Just how stupid do you think Red Pepper’s readership is?

“the CQC is notoriously feeble: it gave mid-Staffordshire top marks when several hundred patients had been dying there from neglect”

Terrifyingly poor clinical practice and non-existent oversight? In our near-perfect NHS? How can this be? What happened to the ” service ethic on the part of staff who are not in it for the money, and management who are not in it for shareholders”?

etc.

Amazing how the NHS can bring out the irrational even in professors of political economy.
