The UK government has no mandate to privatise any part of the NHS.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

70% of NHS contracts awarded from April 2013 to April 2014 were to private companies, covering all aspects of the patient journey including diagnosis, treatment and on-going healthcare. As the Government were not elected on a manifesto of NHS privatisation this action is constitutionally non-viable.
