Here's a confirmation of something I said earlier about private sector health providers both cherry picking procedures & sending patients back to the NHS if there are problems - thereby massaging their efficiency data!

Yep. Worked in NHS admin for almost two decades and the private hospitals basically had the local A&E on speed dial because they can't manage actual emergencies (real emergencies tend to be expensive in terms of staff/premises). They do lots of hernia ops though as they're relatively quick/cheap/free of complications. Siphoning off the stuff that makes private healthcare big money easily makes them all look efficient for little real effort.
