Well, I Can't See THIS Going Wrong, Can You..?

An NHS efficiency drive may result in hospital appointments being outsourced to call centres in India.
Not when it's worked so well and proven so stunningly popular with customers in all other industries!

I mean, it's not as if anything bad has ever happened befo...

Oh:
The proposal comes despite a scandal two years ago when the confidential medical records of patients at one of London’s top private hospitals were sold on by Indian IT staff.
/facepalm

That's appalling. Lots of money for BT while we're sitting in the queue - and hundreds of jobs exported.

It must be a silly season joke. Indians don't like talking about bottoms and naughty bits. I once got an Indian locum gp and he was really disgusted when I asked him to look at my bottom.

Hahahahaha!

I've always found Indian call centre staff to be very pushy, always trying to get you to take products you don't want or need. So now you'll ring to arrange an X-ray appointment and half an hour later be down for a full body CT scan, colonoscopy, barium enema and laparoscopy.
