Britain's NHS to ramp up use of private healthcare to cut waiting lists

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : The NHS already leans heavily on private providers but the sector has the capacity to more than double the work it currently provides from diagnostics to medical training, said the task force which was made up of government ministers, health policy advisers, NHS England officials, a patients' group representative, and executives from private healthcare companies.
41% : Top health charities used the 75th anniversary of the creation of the service in July to warn it may not make it to 100 due to years of "quick fixes" by politicians in place of proper policies and investment to fix everything from bed shortages to social care.
