Cross-party NHS campaign launched to stop privatisation

Green MP Caroline Lucas presented an NHS reinstatement Bill backed by Labour, Lib Dem, SNP and Plaid Cymru politicians.
The Bill would re-establish the Health Secretary’s legal duty to deliver NHS services, which was scrapped in the Tories’ hated Health and Social Care Act.
