There are moments beyond parody. Such as when Britain's
National Health System defended providing private care for NHS
employees. You see, private care is, er, better.
Reports the Times of London:
The health department defended the practice and said sending
doctors, nurses and other key staff for private treatment
helped to get them back to work.
"If trusts want to get their staff back to work more quickly
they can't jump NHS waiting lists, so going private is an
option," said the spokesman.
"There is evidence that early intervention in tackling sickness
absence enables staff to return to work more quickly.
"Other benefits include: reducing the risk of chronic illness
that could result in ill health retirement, cost-saving on
temporary staff and having a positive impact on staff health
and wellbeing and, in turn, patient satisfaction."
Let's see. If private care without waiting lists gets
people back to work sooner, and reduces the risk of chronic
illness, then why shouldn't everyone get private care?
Surely there is a good reason for imposing substandard care on
most of the nation!

Uhh why is this news? Everyone knows private care with regards to
quality of care is better than the government. The debate is
about efficiency, cost, and what will be covered since insurance
companies are not angels out to cure us.

This is freaking rich. They are DOCTORS and NURSES working in NHS
HOSPITALS, and to get better care .... they go to private
clinics.
Wow, just freaking wow.

Sam,
Quality trumps cost on all accounts. When you're sick efficiency
comes with the best treatment. Actually, it's in the insurance
companies best interest to get you well. What kind of logic are
you employing?

Your readers must lap this, anti-NHS, stuff up. The NHS has 1
million employees. There is no way the private sector could cover
all these employees. I suggest this is, as usual, a fact that has
been twisted until it meets the point that the writer of the
article wnats to make!!!
