On another note: there is an issue with illegal breast implants in this country, as in France and elsewhere. The Government has acknowledged its responsibility to fix this problem: and the private sector who did the bulk of the implants has also acknowledged the government's responsibility. The government knows that it has no power to force the issue and talks of the private sector's moral responsibility: the private sector's reply is "right back atcha". So the government is handwringing and meantime many women are worried and have no real recourse. The welsh have already sighed and agreed the public sector will do the necessary and pay for remediation.

This is nothing unusual: the private sector will not do what it does not have to do, unless there is money in it. It is another illustration of just what is wrong with the proposition: it does not matter who provides the service. It matters a lot!
