Mandate public consultation before privatising NHS services
Open for signatures

What the petition asks
The Government should make it mandatory to hold public consultations before any NHS services are privatised. Bring Public awareness to the forefront of decisions that will affect them directly and the fragmentation of our NHS services and the problems this causes.
Some NHS services are privatising their IT services this summer WITHOUT consulting the service users or going out to tender. We want mandatory public consultations and media coverage before making these important decisions. Many of the public have no understanding or any influence of how this affects them long term using the NHS.
