How to Dismantle the NHS in 10 Easy Steps Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
Dr Youssef El-Gingihy – a GP – tells the story of how the NHS has been gradually converted into a market-based healthcare system over the past 25 years. This process is accelerating under the Coalition government and the very existence of a National Health Service is in danger. He fears that there will not be an NHS as our generation grows old and certainly not for our children. Yet the British public remains largely unawares of this and the media, with few exceptions, have failed in their duty to inform them. The NHS is being broken up into an universal insurance system based on the American model. This book matters to all who use the NHS or are concerned by the privatisation of public services and the dismantling of equitable healthcare and welfare. If you want to understand the real story behind the headlines and find out how you can preserve the NHS for the future then this book is essential reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars The shocking truth revealed
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2016

A must read! This book is excellently researched and excellently written.
Concise, to the point, whilst putting all that is happening in the NHS at the moment in a perspective that is as coherent as it is shocking.
The author Youssef El-Gingihy, has taken a big risk by publishing this, as undoubtedly there are some that will be less than grateful for having their true intentions and vested interests unmasked.
In case it all sounds too corrupt to be true, just have a look on YouTube at Sell-Off - The Full Movie, which covers some of the same ground and states towards the end that 'every doctor in this film has experienced professional intimidation'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The plain truth about the greed in government.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2021

A well written and structured fact about the greed, callousness, uncaring and brutal behaviour of a cut throat government and a stinkingly rich cohort of vagabonds in power.
I've always maintained that there is no reason for a buoyant country like the UK to impose austerity measures on it's people, alas because of the actions of an extremely rich minority of greedy reprobates; the common man has to suffer!!!
PFI, PPP, ITTS, APMS these are all conglomerates involved in an elaborate abhorrent scam to kill off the NHS and privatise medical care to the detriment of Joe Public and his family.
What a crying shame!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Telling it like it is
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 17, 2015

Superb dissection of the Conservatives' plans to dismantle and privatise the NHS. Coolly and precisely done. Demonstrates that the post-war consensus on welfare is well and truly over. The free-market ideologues are in charge and their only goal is to allow their mates into the NHS so that it can be marketed for profit. And it was all started by Blair and his profiteering fellow-travellers like Patricia Hewitt, now creaming it in the private health sector. Read this book and weep.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the must-reads on effect of the PFI scandal on funding of the NHS
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 8, 2018
Verified Purchase
Amazing amount of data - in print! Reveals a true horror story of the PFI scandal and the extent to which it continues to deprive the NHS of £billions of funds and gives the lie to claims that the NHS is being given highest funding ever when the reality is that billions are going to private PFI businesses. A must-read along with other books such as by Professor Allyson Pollock and viewing the Parliamentary Select Committee enquiry on Health and Social Care available on the Parliament website.
