Petition · past parliament

The NHS is not for sale! We must protect our health service!

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The NHS needs to be protected from sale or international interference.
In my opinion we risk NHS workers going on strike if their jobs are not protected. This petition will hopefully show the government that we are great full for the NHS. And it is worth protecting from international bidding.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Legislate that the National Health Service cannot be part of any trade deal.
Omit the NHS from any future trade deal with the US
