Cross-party NHS campaign launched to stop privatisation

A mission to rescue the NHS from privatisation and restore it to Anuerin Bevan’s founding principles was launched yesterday by MPs from five parties.

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.
