David, In a nutshell then, provision of primary care services will be determined by the abiilty to provide a financial bond, rather than any experience, social or environmental performance. This places the corporation in a posistion of considerable advantage.
On the other side of the coin, procurement for public services will come under increased scrutiny for social economic and environmental impact, yet there is no open and transparent vehicle to publish this impact, save for the corporate sponsored media.
