[[Westminster Advisers]] MD, [[Dominic Church]] wrote in a blog entitled 'A new dawn for privatisation' in August 2010:
 
:"The news that the Department of Health is seeking private investment in NHS Professionals is the beginning of the beginning for public service outsourcing on a massive scale... This is a big opportunity for private companies and investors who can spot the opportunities in government markets, develop offers that fit with ministerial priorities, and start a dialogue with the right officials through government relations."<ref>Dominic Church, [http://www.westminsteradvisers.co.uk/blogs/article/56/public-affairs/2010/08/a-new-dawn-for-privatisation, Westminster Advisers, blogs, A new dawn for privatisation], accessed 18 October 2010.</ref>
