Buying in capacity from the private sector will drain the #nhs of resources even further - unless perversely it is treated as a 'reform' for which extra funding in made available ! Improving the #nhsestate by tackling the maintenance backlog first and also buying more kit such as scanners and other diagnostic tools could pay off quite quickly. The #foundationtrust I was a #governor
of sorted out its backlog in about a year by identifying the problems and spending money!
