Creepy as fuck

 

Richard Branson mad cuz he won't get to "provide children's medical services in Surrey".

 

Richard Bransonā€™s healthcare firm has pocketed Ā£2million of public money by suing the NHS.

 

Virgin Care took High Court action after losing out on an Ā£82million contract to provide childrenā€™s medical services in Surrey.

The work was handed to a rival group of in-house NHS providers and a social enterprise firm last year. Virgin Care claimed there were ā€˜serious flaws in the procurement processā€™ and secured an out-of-court settlement in November.

 

Newly-released accounts show that six clinical commissioning groups and NHS England paid Virgin Care Ā£1.565million. Surrey County Council handed over another Ā£440,000 and at least Ā£243,000 more was diverted from frontline NHS services to cover legal fees.

Virgin Care won Ā£1billion of NHS contracts in 2016/17 as Ā£3.1billion of health services were privatised.

Sir Richardā€™s company has more than 400 NHS contracts, including GP practices and sexual health clinics. Jon Ashworth, Labour Party health spokesman, said: ā€˜Constant tendering, procuring and contracting out of services wastes taxpayersā€™ cash. By taking this legal action, the NHS is forced to pay out again instead of putting that money into patient care.ā€™
