Private firms in the NHS are often not delivering.

[mariamin]

More and more services are being contracted out, but many of these services simply don't deliver. For example, our local hospital transport system delivered by a private company, is a disaster. It has got significantly worse.
This is just one example I know of, and yet, the assumption is still that private firms are better at delivering. That often simply is not the case.

What is the AIBU please?

Sorry, that private firms are not automatically better at delivering than public services.

Yanbu. Private firms should be told to deliver their contracts properly or be liable to refund some of the money the tax payers pay them.

Given that the NHS seem incapable of paying for services, I wouldn't want to do business with them. Their accounts payable depts. seem confused about paying invoices, it is just too hard.

We deliver private services to the NHS and we're finding it's them who can't get their act together they're very slow, bureaucratic and can't make decisions.

Having worked with health authorities in the past they are awful to deal with, slow to make decisions, waste time and money, have endless meetings and then at the last moment decide that they want something in double quick time because they have left a key decision to the last moment!
