I loved reading this excellent piece whilst glancing at the IBM ad on the top of the page - then going back to the main screen to see the one from a pharma company.... The NHS seems so tied up in the love-hate thing with the private sector that sometimes it perhaps can't see some of the irony. Its a symbiotic relationship - the NHS would fail without private suppliers (of services and products) and the private sector would likewise without the NHS as a market.
