Havent seen much (any really) of this on the News tbh.
I did mention in one of the 'leading' media story threads the other day that whenever a story is getting pushed so much with the media I always wonder what they arent making public. Anyway... Opinions on this? https://keepournhspublic.com/centene...r-gp-services/ https://www.theguardian.com/society/...health-insurer |

...I don’t know, I’m just reading about them atm...one of the surgeries bought by them in Camden Road has already closed down when the lease ran out...and they often don’t appear to employ permanent GP’s...but more operate with locums....

Spoiler: Yes its going to be a Problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centene_Corporation [The London group of National Health Service (England) (NHS) medical practices AT Medics was taken over by Operose Health, a UK subsidiary of Centene Corp, in early 2021, creating the largest private supplier of GP services in the UK, with 58 practices covering half a million patients. A coalition of doctors, campaigners and academics wrote to health secretary Matt Hancock requesting an investigation by the Care Quality Commission. Campaigners spoke of "privatisation of the NHS by stealth".] A UK Doctor need's to tell us what the changes are. |

Government must halt 'stealth privatisation' of dozens of GP practices, warns Labour...
Labour has urged the government to halt the 'stealth privatisation' of dozens of GP practices taken over by a US health insurance company that now provides general practice for 500,000 NHS patients. https://www.gponline.com/government-...rticle/1708722 |

Operose confirmed the change of control, saying: “The care that we deliver to our patients and the services accessed through our surgeries will not change. We have followed all the required regulatory procedures, including obtaining consent from our CCGs. As a provider of NHS services, care remains free at the point of delivery. In addition, and as with all other GP services throughout the country, we will continue to be regulated and inspected by the Care Quality Commission.” Where will they make their money?

they will make their money the same as doctor practices do now, by charging the NHS. I'm not very happy about this at all, but i wasnt happy when doctors surgeries became responsible for their own budgets either. To me it goes against what the NHS is supposed to be
