700,000 NHS letters were dumped in a warehouse instead of being delivered by a private contractor. We are now being assured that no patients were harmed by this amazing example of incompetence. Which leaves me wondering how much it cost to do the tests and write the letters if not getting the results had no effect on the health of the patients concerned.
Naturally, the original contract was a product of Gordon Brown’s premiership, but we’re not supposed to remember Labour’s ventures into NHS privatization, like the ruinously expensive Broon PPI projects.
