#633 Pero es que tienes diferentes fuentes para poder meter allí charities, GP, subcontratas privadas literales, incluso temas que siempre han quedado fuera como dental, etc...
Bajo ninguna acepción, por generosa que sea, que tomes de subcontrataciones se puede decir que está aumentando su presupuesto. La primera parte de la página del King's Fund trata literalmente todo lo que me estás contando.
The Department of Health and Social Care accounts also record how much the NHS spends on services provided by the voluntary and not-for-profit sectors and local authorities. If spending on these services was added to the spending on independent sector providers, this would total £14.4 billion in 2019/20. This amount was 10.8 per cent of total revenue spending by the Department and is similar to the levels in previous years.
The Department of Health and Social Care’s accounts also show that NHS providers spent £1.5 billion[2] on services from non-NHS organisations in 2019/20. Data from NHS Improvement shows that NHS providers spent £271 million on outsourcing services to other providers, including the private sector, in 2018/19 – up from £221 million in 2017/18. This includes outsourcing elective hospital treatment in order to deliver waiting times targets.
If spending on primary care services – including GPs, pharmacy, optical and dental services – is included, some have estimated that approximately 25 per cent of NHS spending goes on the private sector.
Following the Health and Social Care Act 2012, the number of contracts awarded to private providers increased, though there was not a significant increase in the share of spending on private providers – even if a very broad definition of private care spending is used.
Con el "very broad definition of private care" se refieren a literalmente meter todo en el cajón que no sea literalmente administrado directamente por la NHS, bajo ningún conjunto de características que escojas para definir qué es un servicio externo se puede decir que esté aumentando el porcentaje de presupuesto destinado a ellas.
