Protect NHS from any trade deal which may result in services being privatised

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

As of today Tory MPs voted against an amendment which would protect the NHS from any trade deals which would result in services being privatised.
It is important, that we protect our NHS from being privatised and keep it free at point of delivery. Not many people in the UK can afford private healthcare and private prescriptions and this will risk 100s of 100s of lives.

The NHS has and always will be an important part of the UK, please sign this petition to help protect it.
