A Doc Called Horse

Follow me on this.
  • The UK regulates the working practices of butchers.
  • Butchers costs go up to ensure their product is to the world's highest standards.
  • The supermarkets prioritise cost over quality.
  • They outsource.
  • Dodgy meat floods in from every unregulated source in Europe.
  • (The low quality meat has illegal drugs in it. For good measure).
  • Supermarkets get away with this for years, happily oblivious, 
  • Then they suddenly panic and go cap in hand to the British butchers to rescue them.

Now substitute the words butchers/ meat with doctors/medical services, and supermarkets as GP commissioners.

Of course, you can omit the last line. They haven't returned to UK standards yet despite papers full of stories of NHS corrupt decision-makers, hospital  scandals and endlessly frequent Dispatches documentaries. 
After all where do you think Group 4, and 1000 other private tenders will be recruiting their next medics from? 
Prairies - wherever they are. That's where.
