NHS reforms: the pathology IT co-ordinator's view

We've had a pay freeze for the past two years but despite that I'm quite happy with the pay I get for the work I do. I train staff to use the pathology computer system which records blood samples and test requests. We're responsible for sending the results to the hospitals and GP surgeries; because everyone is supposed to be going paperless, you have to make sure that all the results get sent out electronically. I think the health bill will make hospitals be a bit more competitive and step up to certain standards. They're going to have to almost vie for business. I do think the NHS could do with an update. What I don't want is for it to be privatised.
