NHS Aftercare

The Guardian have featured an article on the fact that there have been 33,000 'avoidable deaths' due to the NHS Aftercare Service in ten years, 2003-2013. What the article doesn't share with the people is the fact that aftercare has been put into the hands of private contractors, its due to privatisation of the NHS. The article refers to it as 'unacceptable deficit in care'. 'Thousands of people a year are dying unnecessarily after a heart attack because the NHS follow-up is so poor, a study says'.

Its not just heart conditions either. If you go to A&E due to an injury, there is no follow-up at all, and I have seen people complaining in comment sections in response to articles, whereby their families haven't had appropriate follow-up after 'strokes' either. So I'm sure for all health conditions that have received NHS treatment the figures are huge.

I don't support privatisation of the NHS or its after-care service. I don't support for profit companies working for the NHS as sub-contractors that are allowed to put the NHS logo on their documentation, giving the people the impression that they are being served by the NHS, when in reality they are not NHS employed staff at all. Maybe the NHS is making the sub-contractors responsible to decrease the cost to the NHS for what happens to patients. There is always a reason and motivation for what they do and why they do it.
