More details from petition creator
These centres are to be set up by private companies, under contract to the NHS, to meet government targets of Assessing patients within 18 weks of referral by a GP. The NHS is already under severe financial pressure and it does not make sense to use NHS cash to provide profits for private companies. There is evidence that Hospital Consultant vacancies are not being advertised, as the CATS centres will take work away from the hospitals, and continued employment for consultants will not be secure. THIS MUST BE STOPPED AND THE MONIES INVESTED IN HOSPITAL SERVICES
