Dream of privatising the NHS is closer
"A year ago Andrew Lansley promised GPs that when they become responsible for commissioning health services on 1 April, they would not be forced to put services out to tender. Last week Jeremy Hunt laid before parliament secondary legislation that will force doctors to virtually open up all health services to competition. I doubt the Tory and Lib Dem candidates in the Eastleigh byelection are out and about praising the benefits of a penny-pinching, fragmented health service, which proved fatal to so many patients at Mid Stafford hospital. They will be hoping no one will have noticed that the Tory dream of a fully privatised NHS took a giant step forward last week, not by democratic means but by stealth. I expect the candidate for the National Health Service Action party will have plenty to say about this deception.

In the movies 'action' sets the whole thing going while on the stage much 'business' can be done, but this action 'a bit of business' is aside from the plot and may be used to cover for the fact that the scene is being changed back-stage.
There can be all sorts of 'action' entirely necessary, but that adds nothing to the story.
