Private equity is a horror story for the NHS – one fifth of budget goes to it.
Privatised services treat 10% of patients, 3% in 2011.
59,000 private contracts in the NHS.
30%-40% of money vanishes in profits, longer queues persist.
End privatisation.

In 1970 the richest 1% had about 4x the wealth of the average person, and the richest 0.01% had about 30x.
Now the richest 1% have 12x the wealth of the average person, and the richest 0.01% have 1000x.
This is the problem.
