The NHS is on its knees. Workers are underpaid and overworked, access to care is getting harder for those who are financially worse off and aging, and £10m of NHS budget has gone to private contracts per week since 2012.

Stop the growing privatisation of the NHS

Privatisation of healthcare is not only wrong, it’s expensive and damaging to our NHS. We need a universal, publicly owned NHS. We also need a national care system working with the NHS to ensure people get the care and support they need at home. If people had access to good community health services including GP’s, Health visitors, District Nurses, physiotherapists, OT’s and other allied health professionals. This would alleviate pressure on emergency care & free up hospital beds. It isn’t rocket science but it does need investment. All our public services desperately need investment & that will require borrowing & a wealth tax. In the long term, investment will save money and improve our economy and society. Tinkering around the edges will achieve nothing- we need radical change in our society & everyone knows it.

NHS England

Level 3 Change Maker

It isn't only private hospitals, - it is all the private companies running contracts under the NHS logo. They have been taking money away in profits. Services have reduced because they cut corners, and also because the NHS has been underfunded since 2010. It isn't possible to provide a proper service without adequate funding, and most of all without enough staff. There are no quick solutions. We desperately need more properly trained staff, and not the less qualified people our politicians want to bring in instead. Returning to a fully public NHS is a benefit to everybody. People will be healthier, happier and more productive. It's a no-brainer.

Level 4 Change Maker

We need a properly funded NHS…free to all at the point of need. Health and Social Care being determined by need not Bank balance. Stop privatisation.

Level 2 Change Maker

We desperately need our NHS , without it so many ill people won’t be able to afford care or even their ongoing medication or treatments including me and some of my family, friends and people I know. They have seriously underfunded the NHS for years wanting to destroy our NHS , made it harder for the staff and patients. They’re fine because they can afford private care! We need a government that will put it back to how it was, we were the envy of the world , now a laughing stock and other countries feeling sorry for us ! This government should feel ashamed of themselves!

Our NHS needs all the money it can get so stop giving it away to greedy businesses and their share holders.

Care not profit. How much money you have should not be a factor on what treatment you get from the NHS. All monies should be kept within the NHS for more services and not going to private companies for their profits. That money should be reinvested within the NHS for everyone.

It is so wrong I have extreme health problems and due to neglect been left extremely disabled now. If goes private I can't afford that and wouldn't be able to get treated as I can't get medical insurance as got lots wrong with me. We will end up with thousands died and being a massive issue there. We need to save and fix the nhs it been going years stop destroying our health service and country and help us out. It is okay for you polications who on crazy money and footballers and that as you will be able to afford it. But you need to wake up and save the country and make it better for everyon. Leave it from going private. And you people in power need to stick to your words as you never do then lie to get in then break rules. Party in covid which so wrong families split up as front line staff couldn't go see there family in hospital. Try working on hot ward like I did nursing dying patients 7 days a week and spilt from my family as has to move out on my own I was. Save the nhs.

The NHS needs to be taken off the political football pitch and become an apolitical body.

Social Services

Employ proven financial genius to negotiate better contracts building wise and maintenance and property management wise and STOP IT BEING PRIVATISED.
