It's the first time that any hospital from the NHS has been given to a private company to run.

The Hinchingbrooke hospital which is debt and is in a poor condition has been handed over to a former banker from Goldman Sachs, under the name of Circle Healthcare. This might be an effective step in saving the hospital from falling into further miseries. It however remains doubtful, how it is going to be functioning after the takeover, and whether the NHS is losing its aesthetic sense and is now not fully able to help the hospitals grown and function.

With the takeover that is to happen in February next year, the new owner is going to be solely responsible for all functioning of the hospital and is going to look into matters like staffing as well. They are going to be responsible for hiring new staff, as well as for firing whoever they want to according to the needs ad requirements of the hospital.

The maternity unit and the A&E are going to be stable, but many other units might soon tend to fade away. The authorities can do whatever they want in order to bring the hospital back on track; they can remove units for the sake of cost cutting.

They shall not be entitled to any further funds, but are going to be responsible for clearing the huge debt of £39million. The profits here are going to be incurred with the aid of increasing the income of the hospital as well as from cost cutting in various sectors.

The Labour as well as the staff unions were not very pleased with the merger and wee of the view that this move could put many jobs as well as the quality of health care under pressure and danger.
