      Bearing in mind it's all a bunch private firms wearing an NHS hat, I would argue corporate murder.

      My dad died of legionnaires disease in an NHS hospital because G4S said it was too expensive to replace the legionnaires infested water system, or to install taps that could filter out the legionnaires. This was on a cancer ward for immunocompromised patients. This is a repeated problem at this particular hospital too. The John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxfordshire

      So yeah, my dad died to protect some shareholder's dividends.
