Wave the NHS goodbye, Folks....Following the Dutch example, privatisation is happening in three stages....... 1) First of all provision of health services is handed over to private companies. This is already well under way in the UK 2) Then control of the health budget is handed over to private commissioning consortiums made up of doctors and consultants. This has already happened in the UK 3) Finally, the private commissioning consortiums themselves are taken over by private companies. In the UK, already over a quarter of NHS Commissioning Consortiums are being run by consultancy firm KPMG. Once this third stage is complete, the health services are effectively privatised - with commissioning, control of budgets and provision of health services all run by private companies.
