Just One Example Of How The Privatised Probation Service Failed.
https:/ /uk.yah oo.com/ news/pr obation -failed -warn-g uardian -brute- 1500435 82.html
Privatising Public Services doesn't work (except for the rich shareholders and Directors of course). We've seen it with the Utilities, the Transport Services and here the Probation Service (now rescinded fortunately).
Yet the Tories are hell-bent on making the NHS the next one (bits of it already done, by stealth of course). Giving away publicly-funded institutions to their ultra-rich Crony Supporters. Robin Hood in reverse, rob the poor to pay the rich.

And your prove is where?
Also lets not forget Labour did it by stealth hiving a fair bit off to Virgin etc (Admin)
In addition its interesting to note that some operations can be done cheaper by engaging a private company than using the NHS. One needs to ask why.
Bottom line is the NHS needs a ground up shake up and slim down - or it wont exist in 10 years private or public.

They would be advised to look at Canada Medicare services. It works extremely well.

//Regardless of efficiency, the probation service is part of the judicial structure and should therefore be under state control.//
Agreed, jd. Probation workers have the authority to impose quite severe restrictions and requirements on their clients, with the threat of court action of they fail to comply. That should not be the function of a private company.

//How much does it cost you, khandro?//
Nothing, it's paid for by the NHS.
If you want the best health service in Europe and have paid your national insurance contributions in full to retirement age, come to Germany.
Oh, 'nothing' isn't quite true, as I've related elsewhere, a couple of months ago I had a 'mini stroke' & had Rolls Royce treatment in hospital for 3 days, I received at the end of the month a bill for the food .....30€ !
I also pay a small amount on prescription meds, usually 5€ per item.

I know my son who is here pays a lot for himself, wife & student son.
But both he & his wife are both big earners.
But the myth that the NHS is free persists. NI contributions are also linked to earnings in the UK

The total expenditure in health economics was about €287.3 billion in Germany in 2010, equivalent to 11.6 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) this year and about €3,510 per capita.[61]
I love the typical AB one liner: foo and its all FREEEEEEEE!
per capita - €3,510 - and so per household €12 000
and we are about £6k
if you pay more you get more - but remember you are buying healthcare and not long life
