I beg to differ, I had a fabulous meal years ago at a beautiful hotel/ restaurant he owns in the new forest, I'm sorry I can't recall its name.

he put up the £100k reward for information about my murdered sister, I have nothing but respect for that guy, he will dip into his pocket and helps many a good cause

If the NHS can't cope, which obviously they can't, then it will open the doors for private health care and centres. Some ones got to do it so why not Richard Branson?
As I said yesterday. I like his style and him as a person but I won't have Virgin Media as it's too expensive.
edit: I didn't see any reference to the McCanns in this question so why has Pat jumped up and down and started shouting the odds?

I guess not many actually read the link.......
Its another step towards overall private health care and NHS decline.
To be honest, if the NHS cant get GPs to work out of hours on the wages they get now, I cant see how private companies will do it.
My local out of hours GPs fly in from Germany for the weekend, paid for by the NHS and earn about 4 grand for 24 hours work.

if it means more choice then maybe its a good idea, but I doubt it will be free. Will it be another nail in the coffin of the NHS.
I also like Branson, but I think he's made a few dodgy decisions lately

I don't think he is doing anything in education yet - although he has spoken out on some issues in this area and funded a school in South Africa. It can only be a matter of time!

Nah...
It actually sounds like an alright idea, giving more choices to the wider public. NHS is soso for what it is but if you can afford it why not pay for it?

He can give some money to the proposed newly formed Trust being setup soon, to help Fight for Justice for Madeleine.
