She received her cervical screening invitation letter last May but initially ignored it for fear of taking up the NHS’ time, and her worries over going to the GP at the height of the pandemic.  

Plans to hand GPs to scandal-hit US health privateer to be challenged in court

THE plan to hand medical practices with hundreds of thousands of patients to a scandal-ridden US health privateer is to be challenged in court. North Central London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), a government body that awards contracts for NHS provision, is handing eight GP practices with 375,000 patients to US health insurance firm Centene. The company and its web of subsidiaries have a track record of falsely claiming taxpayers’ income and of failing to provide adequate health services to patients in the United States. Patients, doctors and NHS campaign groups have united to mount the legal challenge. Led by Keep Our NHS Public (KONP) and 999 Call for the NHS, the campaigners want a judicial review of the decision, alleging that the CCG “was not sufficiently diligent in its investigation into the potential impact, and failed to engage patients and the public in the decision.”
