Liberating the NHS idea: challenge to opportunity for charities

There are many small and large chairites already providing services
funded through local PCTs. The proposals are for more of this. This can
be a great opportunity for charities who will be starved of public
donations. Providing services for the new NHS will be a revenue
generation channel which can raise money for campaigns and other work.
The model of charity fundraising is already shifting towards prociding
products, for example the RSPCA has a credit card that donates a small
amount to the cause with every purchase.
