The news that a Redruth mental health unit will not reopen until at least November has been called a "dire consequence" of NHS privatisation by West Cornwall MP Andrew George.
Mr George, a member of the House of Commons Health Select Committee said: “Here we have yet another example of where the profit motive of private companies conflicts with the patient interests in the NHS.
“Longreach was developed under a private finance initiative supported by the then Labour Government in 2003. The prolonged closure is but further evidence that we should never put profit before patient interests.
