THE SNP has been accused of “rank hypocrisy” as its Westminster leader pledges to bring forward a Bill to protect the NHS from privatisation.

Writing in the Daily Record newspaper, SNP’s Stephen Flynn claimed both Labour and Tories were driving “massive privatisation” in health, branding it “deeply disappointing.”

He vowed to bring forward a Keep The NHS In Public Hands Bill within 100 days of the election which would “bind the hands of the UK government — ensuring our health service is fully protected as publicly owned, publicly operated, and with its services publicly commissioned.”
