Lets not forget that this is a partnership model. So wealth will be distributed through the payroll to members - thats why the local consultants like it. Surpluses will then never exceed £2m and the debt never repaid. The £2m will go to the Circle money men - not bad bearing in mind that they havent actually bought anything. Thats why Circle want more and more deals like this, a legal alternative to pyramid selling.
The real shame is that an FT model would have kept the annual £2m in the NHS and spent on equipment. The scandal is that the SHA team who did the deal now see this as better for the taxpayer than an FT model due to the possible debt repaymeny, which they forgot to secure in the contract!!!!
