Rejected petition Conflict of interest - Stop NHS medical staff from having a private practice.

More details

In any other walk of life, it would be highly impossible to moonlight for another company with the same vested interest as it would be a conflict of interest. In medicine, this appears not to be an issue. Doctors routinely push their patients to their private list knowing that their bread and butter will be met by the NHS and also the NHS is a good hunting ground for private practice revenue stream. Let them pick one or the other. We cannot allow this conflict of interest to continue.
