Yes but those funds aren’t going to the trust as in the actual public pool.

Most hospitals have private wings, but the NHS doesn’t see any profit from that.

Hmm, I didn't realise this.

If I see an NHS consultant privately they get a little extra personal income. So if I took a private room where does the profit go in the current system? Treasury?
