This is their latest newsletter. https://lowdownnhs.info/category/news/ Note the inclusion of an item regarding Babylon which is the name of the latest of Ali Parsa's outfits. He is the NHS privatiser du jour who took over Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Cambridgeshire with disastrous results. In the end he resigned. He called himself Circle Health in those days. 'Lesson one from the Hinchingbrooke hospital scandal: beware the ‘mutual’ Supporters of the flagship hospital said its structure was a blueprint for the future. In fact it was privatisation by another name' https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jan/19/hinchingbrooke-hospital-scandal-mutual-privately-run I see from a BBC link that Parsa is an ex Goldman Sachs operative. That fits. Ref his Babylon outfit, I read this recently about one of their apps. 'It's hysteria, not a heart attack, GP app Babylon tells women ... But doctors found that the algorithm tells a 60-year-old female smoker who reports sudden onset chest pain and nausea that she is probably having a panic attack or pain caused by inflammation. A 60-year-old male smoker with the same symptoms is told that he may be having a heart attack. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/its-hysteria-not-a-heart-attack-gp-app-tells-women-gm2vxbrqk YCNMIU PS Babylon operates remotely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_Health Coming to you soon? 'In the UK Babylon's NHS services cover more than 40,000 registered user-patients which has caused controversial disputes over NHS funding models.' |
