Not Privatisation?

A company called Circle Healthcare has won a ten-year contract to run the Hichingbrooke hospital in Cambridgeshire, which has run up enormous debts.
Patients, we are assured, will see little difference, except that the hospital will be far more efficient, with bureaucracy removed and the medics taking all the key decisions.
Health Minister Simon Burns has told MPs: "This is not a privatisation in any shape of form."
Except for one small detail: A private company is now running an NHS hospital: The shape of things to come?
