title: Open all hours.
abstract: According to Bob Graham, Chief Executive of the private health insurance company BUPA, admitting a patient to an NHS hospital is 'like sending a shopper into a supermarket with a large trolley to find that the goods on the shelves are not priced and that there is no checkout at the door.' Mr Graham has high hopes that many of the NHS patients currently getting their operations on off-peak days at private hospitals will get a taste for it.
