Am I the only person who is totally P'd off that private hospitals don't seem to be doing much unless they're being paid to?
I thought several thousand bed spaces had already been requisitioned. There will be a cost, just as there will be for ventilators etc supplied by private companies. Staff and materials still have to be paid for.
It seems clear to me that all available medical staff need to be deployed and it matters little whence they come. If they normally work in the private sector it's because pay and/or conditions are better for them there than in the NHS and that is something which needs to be addressed when this crisis is over - how we value essential services no matter how lowly or highly qualified they may be.
These people deserve and need the best equipment possible for their own protection as well as to treat the sick. They also need us to observe the social distancing and isolation rules to reduce the spread of this human borne virus.
Ranting about who pays what or about what we can't control is just counter productive.

I have no idea how much private hospitals are being paid, do you have any figures or are you simply guessing?
