Starmer's government is deskilling the NHS. I tried to make an appointment with my GP for knee pain and was fobbed off with a referral to Cora Health Care.This is a private company based in a business park in Newcastle. Every single online review was negative. Seriously disabled patients are being given potentially dangerous exercises and treated by students with no medical supervision. Fucking Wes Streeting!!!

I had a mild rant this morning about Cora Health and this afternoon when I calmed down I looked them up. The company is owned by Lloyds Development Capital, a private equity company run by Lloyds Bank. I'd like to say "asset strippers" but they're making a loss. So what's it all about? LDC is investing heavily in healthcare and biosciences. Do they hope one or more of these companies will pay off and they can ditch the rest? It stinks of speculation.

This is the same business model that's led to the disaster in children's homes, adult social care and mental health. Private Equity companies buy up providers, load them with debt, cut staff levels, hire less qualified staff and divert the income into executive bonuses and dividends.

The NHS is going the same way as the water industry. This one is down to the Labour government. When they talk about growing the economy and business friendly policies this what they mean. Pour NHS funding into the pockets of billionaires.
