NHS privatisation – Is Hunt selling department to company his cousin is Chair of?

‘One privatisation that the establishment press has not reported is the sell-off of NHS Professionals. This is a state owned recruitment agency for medical professionals. NHS Professionals is a limited company wholly owned by the Department of Health. Not for long though.

The concept of NHS Professionals, an NHS owned solution to the growing issue of temporary workforce requirements, was first introduced in 2001 by the Minister of State for Health Alan Milburn (Labour). NHS Professionals was established as a Special Health Authority (SpHA) on 1 April 2004, a nationally branded managed service for temporary staff in the NHS. In 2010 NHS Professionals was dissolved as a Special Health Authority and became NHS Professionals Ltd, a company wholly owned by the Secretary of State for Health in April 2010.

By coincidence, that same year (the Tories came to power), NHS professionals also declared a profit and has proudly done so every year since. It contributes to the treasury and therefore society more widely. It places more than 1,000 medical professionals a month and does so professionally with the interests of the NHS at heart, with 60,000 medical professionals registered on its books.’
