Ad Lib Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 No, the cover up is current unless you know something we don't. The file that went missing to which the investigation relates was given to Leon Brittan in the 1980s when he was Secretary of State for the Home Department. It has nothing to do with the current crop of Westminster politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it not 114 files that went missing, as for the rest, you like myself have absolutely no idea whether or not it involves any current Westminster politicians, perhaps if those in power had been more upstanding those files involving their friends, colleagues, lovers wouldn't have disappeared.

Crùbag Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 A list here of the Lords and MPs with interests in private healthcare. Interesting to see a certain Alistair Darling on it. I guess the UK is better together for these pirates. http://socialinvestigations.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/compilation-of-parliamentary-financial.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Parp Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 He looks about 10 and is clearly trolling. Anyone that believes him is a fuckwit. "Nowhere are these connections more deep-seated than in our willingness to support each other's health and give to each other, when in need, blood and even organs such as hearts, lungs and livers and not primarily as a commercial transaction but as a gift, and often creating a lifelong bond. "Simply to chart those links and see the willingness to help each other in times of trouble should leave all of us bursting with pride at what we have achieved by co-operation and working together. None of this must be put at risk." Gordon Brown, not 10, apparently not trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Halt NHS privatisation, says Labour's BurnhamCOMMENTS (860)By James GallagherHealth editor, BBC News websiteHospital wardContinue reading the main storyRelated Stories Q&A: The NHS shake-upWhy not... privatise the NHS?Private firms 'win 70% of NHS bids'Labour has called for the NHS in England to stop privatising services until after the general election. In a speech, shadow health secretary Andy Burnham said "privatisation is being forced through at pace and scale". He said voters needed a "proper debate" about the future of the NHS. The government called this "pure political posturing" from a party with a record of privatisation when it was in power. Labour argues the restructuring of the NHS, which came into force in 2013, led to privatisation by the back door. This includes plans for the biggest outsourcing deal in NHS history which could see cancer care across Staffordshire privatised as part of a £1.2bn contract. ConsentThe Department of Health said that since 2010 a further 1.3% of the NHS budget was being spent in the private sector, with the total standing at about 6%. Jump media playerMedia player helpOut of media player. Press enter to return or tab to continue.Andy Burnham says 'NHS is based on people, not profits'In his speech, Mr Burnham said: "Commissioners have been ordered to put all services out to the market, NHS spending on private and other providers has gone through the £10bn barrier for the first time. "When did the British public ever give their consent for this? "It is indefensible for the character of the country's most valued institution to be changed in this way without the public being given a say." Mr Burnham has written to the boss of NHS England, Simon Stevens, to call for a pause in privatisation unless patient safety or service is at risk. However, NHS England said most funding decisions were now being made by groups of GPs, who were given the purse-strings in the NHS reforms. 'Posturing'A government spokesman said Mr Burnham was playing politics and pointed to his record of privatisation while he was health secretary in the last Labour government. "Use of the private sector by the NHS doubled in the last four years of Labour, a far bigger increase than under this government. "Andy Burnham himself signed off the privatisation of Hinchingbrooke Hospital during Labour's final year so it is pure political posturing to try to interfere with doctors making the best clinical judgements for patients." Healthcare team of nurses and doctorsMatt Tee, chief operating officer of the NHS Confederation, which represents NHS Trusts, said the argument should be about what is right for patients. He said: "Our members are very clear that there are plenty of things which keep them awake at night, but contracting is rarely cited as one of them." Dr Steve Kell, one of the chairs of the group NHS Clinical Commissioners, said: "I am quite clear that no clinical commissioning group [CCG] has a privatisation agenda." "CCGs are independent statutory bodies with a clear focus to improve services for our patients - to stop clinical commissioners from signing contracts where a local need has been identified will leave gaps in local clinical services putting patients at risk." I thought the NHS wasn't being privatised down South, not only is it being privatised but Labour are fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confidemus Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 But it’s what he wants done about it that made us double-take. “Mr Burnham has written to the boss of NHS England, Simon Stevens, to call for a pause in privatisation unless patient safety or service is at risk.” Wait, a PAUSE? Labour just want to PAUSE the privatisation of the English NHS for a bit? So they’re fine with it happening, they just want to slow it down slightly? And remember, readers, that Andy Burnham is already on the record as saying that he wants the NHS to be the same across the UK. “I am talking quite passionately about getting English Labour MPs back up the road and for me, sitting down with Neil [Findlay] and Richard [simpson] and Rhoda [Grant] and others and saying, let’s get health policies that can be consistent across England, Scotland and Wales. Wouldn’t that be a good thing, pulling in the same direction as opposed to pulling our separate ways? Devolution, in its early days, was about doing something different and it needs to enter a different phase where we start talking again more about a UK-wide policy because in the end, that helps everybody.” So don’t say you weren’t warned, folks.

Crùbag Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 See Darling has his fingers in private health pies. No wonder these pirates want a no vote - they can keep lining their pockets before getting a cushy one in the House of Lards, not to mention a further few part-time 'directorships' under their belts. http://newsnetscotland.com/index.php/scottish-news/7709-alistair-darling-paid-thousands-by-nhs-privatisation-company Labour MP Alistair Darling was paid thousands of pounds by a company heavily involved in the privatisation of the English NHS, it has emerged.In 2011, the Edinburgh MP who heads the anti-independence campaign Better Together, received over £10,000 for addressing a dinner organised by Cinven Limited.
