6. Nhs Contractors
Private health firms are on course to win more than
£9bn.
Companies such as Bupa, Virgin Care and Care UK
have so far won a total of 131 contracts worth a
combined £2.6bn to provide NHS services since the
Health and Social Care Act .
They have won two out of three of the 195 contracts
awarded by NHS bodies in England in the 19 months
since that legislation dramatically extended the
enforced tendering of services in the NHS.

7. Nhs Contracts
Researchers tracking the awarding of NHS contracts
say that, if the private sector continues its 50% win rate
by value, it will earn a potential £6.6bn more of the
£13bn of other contracts which have been advertised
but not yet awarded.
That would result in private firms earning £9.2bn as a
direct result of the changes ushered in by then health
secretary Andrew Lansley’s restructuring of the NHS,
which a cabinet minister recently described as the
coalition’s biggest mistake.
£18.3bn of services tendered, £1bn elective surgery, diagnostics
(£1.2bn), community care services (£1.9bn), musculo-skeletal
care (£785m), ambulance (£583m) and pharmacy (£558m).
