Well, not at all, unless you think that the sole organisation they manage and run is NHSSC, and that organisation is the one that (under the advice from the company that manages and runs them) considers cost savings to mean "don't buy locally", "restrict trade", "extort suppliers" and "force your sole customer to buy through you".
So, no, they aren't responsible at all. They are only responsible to the people who appointed them and their shareholders.
Maybe. Are you implying it's a corrupt way for the health secretary to take money from the NHS but say he's doing them a favour?
Simple, you're a limited company with shareholders and need to pay your staff and shareholders by making profits. The fact that those profits come directly from the NHS and then get funnelled into HMG is irrelevant.

It will be great to see how this data correlates with the big pharma bills to NHS and how people related to those dead become long term users of anti-depressants.

I see the latest report is the first one in which excess deaths are falling again.

Eyeballing the official figures, in the peak week we seem to have had 22,000 deaths in England, compared to about 10,000 expected, 12,000 extra in a week is about 1700 a day.

But I was looking at the EUROMOMO data which largely mirrors John Hopkins University although they slice and dice it in different ways.
And there is something quite different about UK (edit: England not Uk) data if you look closely.
Graphs and maps — EUROMOMO
Coronavirus: England's 'excess deaths' among the highest in Europe | UK News | Sky News
"England recorded the highest number of excess deaths anywhere in Europe for three consecutive weeks (week 14, 15 and 16).
Since week 13, the excess deaths in England has been well over 15 points above the normal average - which is the level at which EuroMOMO says there has been an extreme high excess of mortality.
England has recorded more than 40 points above the average for the last two weeks.
Although Spain, Italy and Belgium have also recorded considerably high excess of mortality, none of them have scored more than 40 points."
I see no reason to doubt this data, but clearly it must be treated with caution.
Not trying to make any political point here, just very curious.
