TWO thoughts on the NHS 'private' hospital.
1. Will MPs and relatives be disqualified, putting them in the same boat as those who qualify but won't be selected due to demand exceeding supply?
2. Who is going to 'nod' on the names? Whoever it is will be in a position to dispense and attract favours. Getting 'private' treatment on the NHS for those able to pay for private treatment imposes an almost impossible duty on the 'nodder' if they wish to avoid cronyism.
