Capital advantage.

- Abstract
The article discusses the UK's recent infected blood scandal and the subsequent inquiry and report. It highlights the harm caused to victims and the struggles faced by whistleblowers. The General Medical Council acknowledges the use of referrals as a weapon against whistleblowers and promises it will not happen again. The article also mentions controversy surrounding the GMC in relation to a suspended doctor involved in peaceful protests for the climate crisis. Confidence in the British legal system is being lowered due to ongoing revelations associated with the Post Office inquiry. The article questions why primary care productivity is not being considered by the NHS board, despite falling GP practice income. The Health Foundation's research shows that the public wants primary and community care to be a higher priority for NHS resources. The article concludes by discussing the capital advantage in the healthcare system, where hospitals have the advantage over primary care. The article ends by questioning whether the new government will bring any changes.
