"profit margins" do you seriously think that the private sector can make profits from the national tariff? According to monitor FTs made 3.8% surplus in 2009/10, Clearly with cuts in tariff (and the requirement to make 4% "efficiency savings") there will be a big cut in surpluses this year. So, how can a private provider make a profit from tariff? And if they can, why doesn't DH ask them for their secret and spread the "best practice" to FTs so that we can all benefit? Richard Grimes
