Worked for Care UK for a while. There were a number of very earnest people who felt they were working with the NHS rather than against it. What was shocking is the naivete that they are not pawns in a game where those who will make squillions from NHS contracts are the suits from Bridgepoint Capital and a very selected number of senior management who have been allocated shares. It is the potential for obscene levels of reward reminiscent of the worst excesses of the City that poisons Care UK's bona fides. Care UK is no John Lewis partnership or a social enterprise. What amazed me is how carefully and cunningly the real reason for Care UK's existence was camouflaged.
