Letters: Valedictory for the NHS
GUARDIAN Tue, 20 Mar 2012 21:00:02 GMT
The prospect of the health and social care bill soon becoming law fills us, as people professionally concerned with health and social care policy, with a profound sense of failure and foreboding. We have failed, over more than two decades in which successive governments have prepared for the introduction of a market in healthcare, to get what was happening understood by the public at large. That failure has been compounded by the failure of mainstream media to report the direction of policy in an accessible and balanced manner. And the democratic process has failed to disclose what was really intended and to evaluate it in a proper, evidence-based manner. Party interests have been put before the public interest. All the evidence shows that the longer-term consequences of marketisation, typified in the latest plan to privatise children's services in Devon (Report, 16 March), are detrimental to the provision of safe, high-quality and sustainable health and social care. Like the outsourcing of hospital cleaning in the 1980s, and the outsourcing early this year of translation services for the courts, the fundamental rationale of such outsourcing is to cut costs. And always with the same depressing result: fewer, less qualified staff, on lower terms, offering a more restricted and lower-quality service. In the case of the NHS, this means loss of security, loss of quality of life, and even loss of life. What the longer-run consequences add up to is the loss of what the US-based Commonwealth Fund has shown, in its annual surveys, to be one of the two high-performing healthcare systems in the world. Instead of the freedom from fear that the NHS provides, we will be returned to the insecurity and health inequality that existed before 1948, and that exist in other market-based health systems today. This is not the modernisation we are repeatedly told is necessary for the survival of the NHS. The government is turning the clock back while at the same time wilfully ignoring the widespread opposition to its proposals from all quarters. Is this what democracy has come to in 21st-century Britain?

Indian outsourcing industry hits out at US visa bill
DAWN Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:18:49 PKT
NEW DELHI: India’s outsourcing giants have slammed a United States bill that could double the cost of a work visa in a move seen as targeting high-profile Indian software exporters. The measure would boost annual US visa costs for India’s outsourcing industry by 200-250 million dollars annually, the National Association of Software and Services Companies warned. S. Gopalakrishnan, chief executive of India's second-largest outsourcer Infosys Technologies, told reporters late Monday he was “saddened and disheartened” by the step and said the sector would lobby strongly against it. India, which already holds at least 50 per cent of the global outsourcing market, has become the world's back office as Western firms set up call centres, number-crunching and software development outlets to cut costs. But the 50-billion-dollar industry also sends skilled workers to the United States to develop software and direct projects for US clients. The visa legislation, passed unanimously...
