What the petition asks
End private for profit contracts in the NHS, collective NHS buying power ensuring competitive practice preventing private justification. Prevent current health & care bill from passing. Enshrine NHS independence of political parties, checks and balances ensuring changes aren’t politically motivated.
The NHS is at a pivotal point in its history. The people of the UK lead the world in free universal health care. The current direction is privatisation and is disputed by many legal,medical and health care professionals around the country. Systematic protections must be afforded the NHS to prevent political parties from changing its structure for the benefit of allowing private contractors to provide poorer services or undermine the legal duty of the government to provide adequate care standards
