Last week, thousands of you called for private healthcare to be brought immediately into public hands.
And it HAPPENED because of you!
What’s more, the pressure we put on Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock meant they had to pledge that ‘no profit will be made’ by companies from this ‘deal’.
However, they’ve not published the terms of the ‘deal’, so we have no idea what money is being promised for what, and for how long.
While Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs offer their hotels to NHS staff for free, we don’t know what is being contracted to private companies here.
That’s why we’re demanding that this ‘deal’ be made public, every dot and comma of it.
This letter is co-signed by We Own It, Health Campaigns Together, Keep our NHS Public, MedAct, Momentum, Doctors for the NHS, Nurses United UK, and GMB.
This experience has taught us that we are all in this together, and that our NHS is a vital life saving organ looking after our health together, no matter whether you can pay. This must be protected.
To keep our NHS intact at the end of this, we have asked that Matt Hancock pledges four things.
The crisis that grips our families and friends every day has shown if anything that the NHS needed more capacity to deal with this in the first place.
If the government thinks after this that we’re going back to an underfunded and understaffed NHS then he needs to know that we won’t let that happen.
We’re asking Matt Hancock to pledge:
That this ‘deal’ be made public, every dot and comma of it.
To end all of these contracts after this crisis. We know that private companies are hungry for long term NHS contracts. This means chunks out of the NHS budget are given to companies who in turn take profits, wasting money and fragmenting our health service. We do not want privatisation by stealth.
Reinstate our NHS by ending all privatisation across the service as soon as this is over.
