This matter of the NHS using private hospitals raises some interesting questions.
There has been a lot of talk about privatisation of the NHS. I wonder, should this ever happen, whether the outcome might just be as favourable to the patients as your experience at the Alex.
Perhaps if we take away the inefficient and possibly corrupt management in the NHS and start again, things might just be better. Certainly, if the NHS pays for private hospitals to help provide their service and the outcome is so good from a patient's perspective, it's worth thinking about.

I can definitely assure you that there is at least two MRI scanners at Hope, though.

I complained and demanded recompense for my car parking charges. A manager of some sort was called and handed me a £2 coin.
I haven't been there since.
