We are talking about outsourcing the department not the equipment here. The staff that already maintain the equipment move their allegiance to the darkside. It still costs the same in heating/lighting etc, they will no doubt take ownership of the test equipment and intellectual rights acquired under the NHS ownership. Seems like there is only one winner and it is not the public purse.
As for the rip off comment above and control of it, well guess what, that has not been put in place by competent persons. Well we are talking the NHS here logic does not come into it.
