Where taxpayers money is involved, commercial confidentiality must not be allowed to override public interest. Taxes make us NHS consumers and we don't expect to buy products or services 'blind'.
Organisations bidding for Public Sector contracts cannoy hide behind the excuse of commercial confidentiality
Full details of Public contracts, especially the NHS, must be subject to public scrutiny. Please sign this petition to ensure that we as taxpayers get the services we pay for.
