To give you an example of the kind of thing I'm talking about. Check out this - https://www.turing.ac.uk/research_projects/cancer-pre-diagnostic-analytics-ai/

It's a partnership between a company (Intel), a university (Warwick), a government body (Turing Institute) and a NHS Trusts (University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire), with the aim being to more efficiently and effectively identify cancer cells, often automatically just from looking at scans. Now I'm sure any rational person would class such a partnership as a great thing, despite a profit making company being in it.

Indeed, this is from the medics involved in the project:

“The collaboration will enable us to benefit from world-class computer science expertise at Intel with the aim of optimising our digital pathology image analysis software pipeline and deploying some of the latest cutting-edge technologies developed in our lab for computer-assisted diagnosis and grading of cancer.”

In other words, Intel have both the brains but also the resources (high powered computing in this instance) to do things the NHS could never dream of doing on their own.

No I totally agree partnerships like this are good indeed and certainly help.

I'm just against a private company totally running the nhs or trying to profit from it. Things like this are good I totally agree.

Progress! A few minutes ago you had no idea what he was talking about.

Takes a big man to admit he was wrong, fair play to you sir.

Nope I admit I didn't know what he was talking about and I'm glad he linked and said what he did.

I always try and admit when I'm wrong and be educated.

Dead right Bruce I don't blame you one bit it was my pension in LG that saved my plight after going into ill health - I ran my department better than any private company would, and never felt guilty of getting a pension wage taxed most necessary as if your health goes that's what your 6 percent of all your earnings were for - big x Ray for me in 8 days fingers crossed ;)

Feared Burnham? No chance Joey. Absolutely none.

This is a man so expedient that he took a shadow cabinet position under Corbyn, undermined him, tried to topple him, then ran away from the Westminster "bubble " to become a scouse Manchester Met mayor.

No need to fear him at all. They'd have feared Corbyn for a while because after the first leadership vote he had huge popular grass roots support, public intrigue and , er, momentum. All disappointingly squandered. Look at it today - huge disaster in the locals, tries to go to one of the few places the party did well.... And now the main story is that Burnham won't appear along side him.

Didn't know you were LG Joey? I am too (still working) and totally agree with you. In the field I work many councils that outsourced have now brought the service back in house as the private companies made such a mess of it. It's a complete myth these days about public sector being less efficient than private sector. There is a lot of expertise in it that is hard for private companies to emulate.

Best of luck with your health mate ;)

At one point in 1998-99, Campbell essentially ran policy and strategy for both parties. Was in direct and regular contact with Alan Clark (who held the safest Cons seat in the country at that point).

If we end up with 400+ Cons seats and 150 ish Labour seats you'll get people in the latter reaching quietly across the divide in the same way.
