Today I have made my first contribution to the Institute of Economic Affairs Blog.
The piece details my view that, with the inevitable public spending cuts that will be happening in the UK, there is an historic opportunity for reform of healthcare provision by removing all NHS healthcare facilities from the NHS and putting them in to private ownership. The NHS can then re-cast itself as a funding and standard-setting institution.
I hope that this will be the first of many pieces that can generate some lively discussion as I have been asked by the IEA to become a regular contributor.

I came across your website and realised who it is that is currently feeding the taxpayers alliance their mouth full of BS about GPs profiteering , the greedy opportunists! -pot, kettle-black!!! are you like Matthew(elliot) a privately educated snob setting out to dismantle the NHS and ensure only the rich privileged few have access to quality health care? Your “businesses” couldn’t possibly stand to benefit from private public partnerships in the nhs,are you a millionaire yet or just pinning your flag to the TPA mast in the hope of becoming one??? must say you bunch of elitist blue noses are currently managing to pass your selves off as “ordinary tax payers” in the press. I do have faith however that although us underprivileged masses didn’t all enjoy private education we can see through people like you. Even though you cannot follow your own mantras on TRANSPARENCY!
