• I HAVE just been contacted by the company InHealth. This is one of the private companies to which parts of our National Health Service have been sold by our Tory government.

The service for which our taxes pay InHealth is a trivial one, an ECG (electrocardiogram). That procedure takes no more than 15 minutes at the most and is routinely available on demand in our hospitals and clinics.

InHealth cannot offer me one in less than eight weeks. This is an everyday and trivial example of the poor medical care we can expect when more of our health service is sold to private companies.
