The merry-go-round of referrals from one queue to another for chronic conditions looks like a symptom of privatisation. It is the most profitable way of keeping an unmet need for palliative care in the revenue stream. The policy of paying third party suppliers per process is a profit seeker's dream.
The NHS should be an organisation paid to minimise the need for its services. It can only be provided as a public service for the common good.
