Is our broken NHS really being privatised? – Alex Andreou asks the HSJ's Alastair McLellan
Description
With the NHS in constant crisis, we constantly hear it’s at risk of being privatised. How close to the truth is that? To find out, Alex Andreou speaks to Health Service Journal editor Alastair McLellan. They discuss the state of the health service, what reforms are happening, and what change is needed.
• “Everywhere you look, the NHS is really struggling. It’s not that care now is worse than it was in 1970 - it’s that care now compared to what it could be is the greatest gap we’ve seen since the formation of the NHS.” – Alastair McLellan
• "It’s hard to find a Tory voter working for the NHS.” – Alastair McLellan
