Trumpi revealed the contents of his executive briefcase when he said that the NHS was 'on the table' for trade talks. He subsequently changed his tune in an interview on morning television, when he retracted the statement.
Perhaps Boris Johnson's £350 million of red bus savings from Brexit will, instead, go to the USA to pay for NHS capabilities?
I notice that there's already a degree of US interest in the NHS. The supplier's list includes several well-known US-based companies. There's Cerner, for example.
Cerner Corporation is a Kansas-based supplier of health information technology solutions, services, devices and hardware. Then there's DXC Technology.
DXC Technology is an American multinational corporation, based in Tysons, Virginia that provides B2B IT services. And then there is Intersystems, a Cambridge, Massachusetts supplier of Electronic Patient Records.
I'm wondering if this is really the way to examine the supplier list? The longer lists show more of the pickle of suppliers in use.
Naturally, all of the consultancy houses are there, mostly with alliances with other suppliers. McKinsey (New York), Boston Consulting (Massachusetts), Deloitte (New York), GE Healthcare (Chicago), Oliver Wyman (owned by Marsh and McLennan, New York)... the lists go on.
Curious too, that all four of the big four are represented. Why have one consultancy when you can have several? An invoice of advisors, to use the collective noun.
