Allyson Pollack’s book “NHS plc” is a devastating critique of the marketisation of the NHS. A blind faith in market forces preceeded by a decade the financial collapse of 2008 and underlies the puchaser provider split, PFI, ISTCs and competitive tendering. I fully support the BMAs eight principles. A fortune would be saved by abolishing the purchaser provider split and there would be better integration of public health planning with service provision.
