[QUOTE="smitha48, post: 269670, member: 35022"] Hi Catherine, My personal opinion is that i would be happy for private companies to deal with long term or short term illnesses/conditions, as long as the provision was still 'free' to the patient, was provided at no additional cost to the Central budget, was at least as good as your current local arrangements (but i believe it would be better). An advantage could be that care will be'standard', which currently does not happen in the NHS........T2's are fully aware of this......Test strips etc One thing we should all think about is the amount of waste in the NHS, which private companies do not put up with!! Lets face it your doctor can refer you to the private sector NOW, so why not involve them straight away. As long as the caveats are in place to protect the patient(s), then why not :?: [/QUOTE]
