Nurse who worked at the first privatised NHS hospital says she wants people to 'remember' the 'disaster'

Nurse who worked at the first privatised NHS hospital says she wants people to 'remember' the 'disaster' Private provision of health care services has always been controversial and has been a hot topic during and since the recent general election. Labour claimed that more NHS services could be outsourced to private companies, particularly in connection with a possible post-Brexit UK-US trade deal. Boris Johnson, for his part, insists "the NHS will never be for sale”.
However, the ITV documentary The Dirty War on the NHS aired recently, arguing that the health service is "under threat of being sold off and converted to a free market model inspired by America's disastrous health insurance system".
The film focused on Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Cambridgeshire, the first hospital to be handed to a private management firm. i newspaper
