Just a quick point to say that hospitals in the UK are publicly funded, not privately funded. Income isnt derived from the number of patients you treat, etc.
Doesn't make any difference (neither to what I said)... In fact, I didn't even thought about private funded hospitals, but about public hospitals...
If there are less patients, the hospitals will get less money. It doesn't matter if they are private funded or not.
In public hospitals the money from the patients goes to the goverment and it is the goverment who pays the hospitals, this is exactly the same as with private hospitals with the only difference that the money doesn't first pass the goverment.

But all this is going seriously off topic though as all this has got absolutely nothing to do with the Gid.org project. So I suggest to make another thread in General Chit Chat if you want to continue such a discussion.
