Back Door.

        Lots of large companies are rubbing their hands with glee and taking this pandemic as a wonderful milk-cow. During the pandemic, millions of pounds of tax payers money has been handed to friends and buddies of the Tory Party, in the form of contracts, without any tendering or public scrutiny, and some have made a right dogs dinner of that contract, but of course held onto the money. Of course it is not just the Bumbling Boris brigade that are guilty of this throwing tax payers money at companies without as much as tendering process or a wee squint of public scrutiny, why here in Bonnie Scotland the same rather dodgy process is alive and well. The recent contract to KMPG being one that we are are aware of, another little slice of the NHS moved into private hands, without the public getting a sniff of the process.

the following extract from Consultancy UK 

       Scotland's health service has awarded a contract worth more than £2 million to Big Four professional services firm KPMG for "management and advisory services" on the nation’s coronavirus vaccine programme.
       According to reports in the Scottish press, three months before the first vaccinations began in Scotland, a contract for "extended flu and Covid vaccination programme management and advisory services" was handed out to KPMG. The deal, worth a total of £2.32 million, was given to the advisory and accounting firm without any other competing bids in September, with the Government citing the "extreme urgency" of the vaccination programme.
       A contract award notice published at the start of 2021 added that the Government’s justification for directly awarding the contract on behalf of NHS Scotland was due to "unforeseeable" events. Statements from the Governments since defended the process, which it said are standard practice in the current pandemic.

      Slice by slice, our NHS is being handed to private companies, sooner or later they will be the ones that call the shots on what kind of care you get and what it will cost you. That is if we allow this back door entrance to big business to continue.
