David Cameron has given the Centre's staff

Surrey Property Award for the health of a "Great Society". But his first attempt to win business in the NHS market has failed, triggering fears for the future employees "spin-outs'

less than a year, the Cabinet Office Minister Francis Maude visited Central Surrey Health (CSH), a path trod by politicians eager to see their own corporate social "spin" would transform the NHS.

CSH, which provides community health services in affluent areas in and around Epsom, Leatherhead and Dorking, was the first property to get NHS staff, established in 2006. It quickly became an official flag carrier of social enterprise in health, a state of anxiety approved by Maude, who said he was, inevitably, the "great society in action":

"The government's vision of the Coalition for a large company is on the seizure of power by bureaucrats and people from field support to continue the work. There are thousands of employees in the first Online public can see how to do things better. I think it can become a mass movement that will result in better services at lower cost. Everyone knows that there is less money to go around these days but the staff of the Surrey Health show that you can do more with less. "

large NHS vision of the company has received something of reality. It is obvious that the attempt to Surrey Central to win a first contract for NHS tender resulted in failure. The "preferred bidder" elected for a five-year contract for 500 million pounds for community services in the southwest and northwest of Surrey is a private company majority owned by the Virgin of Health, doctors say.

All
heavy political support for the outputs of the rotation - Here is a picture of the founders of HSC to receive the first prize "Great Society" the Prime Minister, David Cameron - apparently counts for nothing. You can say it as it should be: it is the quality that counts, not patronage. CHS apparently has delivered substantial improvements in the quality and efficiency, at least according to the Cabinet Office. But it is difficult to know the quality of cash at this time, unlike money, and financial muscle.

Unconfirmed reports say the bidders for the contract

NHS is expected to raise a bonus of £ 10 million as collateral. This kind of access to capital is easy enough, no doubt, for private medical insurance companies that have access to money markets and rich owners, but maybe would have been easy to Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, which also offered. CSH, unconfirmed reports say they were able to increase by 3 million pounds. It is not clear whether this charged SHC financial fragility in the hiring process.

NHS staff is considering - or actively participate in - the spin-off plans for the NHS will be in victory fears Assura doctor (there are 25 departures of rotation of the NHS as the existence Department of Health, 20 others are still in progress). The new wave of departures in October to take with them a three-year contract to provide services. Some may wonder if they have a future, when her three and a half years.

fact, CSH must now be wondering what his chances are to maintain their heart of business, the contract for services to the community in the heart of Surrey, which was given as a dowry when she left the NHS . The contract is expected to come from sales over the next 12 months. If you lose, it is in serious trouble, and the political embarrassment that the ministers will be considerable.
The CEO of social enterprises in the UK, Peter Holbrook explains succinctly the challenge for ministers:

"If Surrey Central Health, feature of the government office of the joint venture which has demonstrated considerable success in transforming health services, reduce waiting times and increased productivity can not win, does this mean for the future of the mutual ?...
"is not enough for the government to open markets, but you need to create fair markets which benefit to society. Some of the financial criteria used in contracts to create an uneven playing field in which social enterprises are unable to compete because they can not have the same financial support that private sector providers. Unless urgent action to address this we will see social enterprises and mutuals lose the private sector.
