For goodness sake, can't we accept that the NHS is NOT a
business!!! I accept that the NHS spends a lot of public purse
money, and that it must therefore act in some respects in a business
like way, in the sense of maintaining proper accountability and
control of resources. However there is a wide margin between
behaving with due prudence, and as a policy decision erecting a
wholly unnecessary barrier between a valuable service and those who
wish to access that service via a different route.
