Take action to stop our NHS being disintegrated this year

Health before profit is a must and privatisation has been an absolute shambles as these private companies have shamelessly ripped off the tax payer with increasing demands for subsidies to shell out to massively overpaid directors whilst handing out dividends leaving the industry with huge leakages as with water companies with inflated charges to consumers and commuters packed like sardines on over stretched transport links and no option to go elsewhere.

The NHS must remain free and accessible to all forever. It is actually the best value in both health of the nation and financially

The NHS belongs to the British public,it’s worth is twelve trillion and the greedy Tory government have been draining it off to their rich friends it must be stopped or you will never be able to afford a Dr Hospital or any health care what so ever .These talks have been taken in secret so they can tell the whole country exactly what they are up too.

Don’t destroy our NHS without it many people will die.It must be kept free at the point of need.

We cannot let our NHS be destroyed for the benefit of this self serving ,'Get Brexit Done ' Government.

Please please please keep our NHS FREE at the point of delivery. It's the one thing worth fighting for in this devastating period.

NHS should be kept as a Public Health Service, not for profit funded by central taxation. Private sectors have cost the NHS billions and have not provided the service paid for. Get rid of Serco, they convinced the government they can give a service but have failed the public and the government badly and need to give a big refund on lack of service.

ICS developments are poorly conceived if there is to be an effective integration of health and social care services. Extensive geographical responsibilities unresponsive to local needs, social care segregated from the public health responsibilities of local authorities, children and families services, housing etc is a recipe for chaos providing endless opportunities for private providers to scoop up consultancy and the cherry picking of provision. Another policy disaster in waiting.

As Johnson's conduct has shown, his 'chumocracy' is the opposite of a meritocracy. If private contractors can make such a mess of things why is the NHS not protected from being run as a profit-making business? We must stand up for the free-to-use health service which is the envy of the world and protect it from being negotiated into something far worse.

Rhe Covid-19 pandemic, and the Conservative government's response to it, show clearly why we desperately need a publicly owned, and properly publicly-funded national health service, whose purpose and resources are not frustrated or diverted by profit-seeking private-sector interests, especially when those are conflicted interests connected with political donations or personal connections to serving poiticians.

Over the last year, we have seen an an NHS underfunded and understaffed, not enough nurses being trained, a public health crisis playing second fiddle to Brexit negotiations which could have been suspended, contracts given to private companies connected with government staff and without a transparent tendering process, PPE pid over-the-odds for which never arrived, PPE paid over-the-odds for which arrived but was unusable, a lack of ventilators, an unwillingness to maintain spare capacity in the healthcare system even though a pnademic had been predicted years previously, all purely because of a political phiosophy opposed to 'big government'!

There isn’t a main stream political party. That wd thd people can genuinely. Trust. Cha. Ching. Is the only sound the greedy. Misfits. Hear.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a devastating reminder how essential it is that health and medical services should all be public. M

We need a nationwide organisation to run health care for ALL people and co-ordinate with all other health and social care providers in the country.

I am very concerned that we already have too much private ownership in the NHS. For example, here in Northern Ireland, our Nursing Homes are all privately owned and the media is full of the abuse which older people suffer by being in the private sector which are purely in business to make a profit.

Also the amount of money which is taken from the public purse for private companies in order to reduce the waiting list is disgraceful. This is our money and we expect to have an input into how it is spent.

We definitely need to keep our NHS out of any private deals. It is the public’s NHS

I totally oppose the privatisation of the NHS. Our health care system is one that we need to protect for the future of all of our children

This government has given millions of pounds to companies that either do not exist, or have recently been formed without providing goods or services in return. There is no accountability or refund of monies by these people. Corruption not only condoned, but actually encouraged by conservative ministers. Meanwhile the NHS is struggling to survive , medical staff nationwide overworked and underpaid.

Health provision and profits for shareholders are mutually exclusive and ultimately ethically reprehensible. No further privatisation of the NHS

The present pandemic is proof, if any more were needed, that the market cannot produce a response to save lives, and that only a Public Health Service, not for profit, funded by central taxation will provide for the health needs of a population.

Keep fighting for the NHS! This year has been far too overwhelming and chaotic for a lot of people, say no more!

Keep privatisation out of our NHS. People before private profit. Our NHS is not for ‘sale’ to the private sector who haven’t the expertise to make the decisions, it will cause chaos and a clash of priorities.

It is essential that our NHS is maintained as a free service, at the point of need, for all UK residents. To think that any significant part could be privatised is the slow creep to the US medical type care (or lack of care!) only a not-for-profit basis should be acceptable.

Surely the Covid-19 pandemic is proof that any open market type scheme would not work and fail to save lives. More public money needs to be put into our NHS, as after many years of running down the system, it has left the NHS in a very week state to be able to respond to this pandemic. Shame on politicians, especially as they were aware of the high possibility of a major pandemic especially following the Exercise and Cygnus Report - Tier One Command Post Exercise Re Pandemic Influenza, 18 to 20 October 2016.

We have already suffered the consequences of privatisation, with the hopeless, unfit for purpose, private Test and Trace debacle - that will have cost thousands of lives. The Nightingale Hospitals were another sham - money siphoned off with nothing to show for it except white elephants with no facilities, equipment or staff just dying rooms for the victims of this cruel government pursuing it's vile, inept herd immunity ideology. The billions plundered from the public purse for phoney PPE contracts given untendered to Tory cronies, who don't even make PPE and some whose companies assets were less than the price of a weekly family shop.....this disgraceful opportunism is nothing but theft and if the Tories had put a fraction of the time and ingenuity into dealing with the Covid crisis as they have from stealing billions from us in their disaster capitalism projects we might actually have light at the end of this tunnel. It is only because of the skill and dedication of underpaid and underappreciated staff in an underfunded NHS being run down to sell off for pennies to their cronies and donors that our death toll isn't even higher than it already is - we are proud of OUR NHS and we will see it returned to the people who paid for it, not sold off like the haematology services the Tories flogged of to a crony for pennies, only to be sold on to a Chinese conglomerate for 840 million. This is shocking carperbagging and this government will be called to account one day. Lets make it sooner rather than later while we still have a semblance of our NHS left.

It is vital that the NHS remains totally and absolutely a public service, totally free. My views and beliefs are those of a member of the public

NHS should not be privatised.

We all need the NHS .Rich or poor .

National health service is for all. Not to be privatised.

Our NHS was founded on the principle of free care for all at the point of need. We need to protect this original and wonderful institution. It must not be sectioned off or sold for profit. If we have learnt anything from this dreadful pandemic, it’s that we need the whole of the NHS functioning together!

this government have tried to ruin the national health service for years and then pretend to love it do not be fooled years from now given a chance they will start to try and sell bits off yet again if we let them

Keep on fighting for OUR NHS

Private companies profiting from health care is not in the interests of patients.

Keep YOUR private hands off OUR NHS! You are destroying not only our most valuable institution but also the amazing staff who work every day to keep us safe. With the right government action it could be funded by the people not handed over to their inept cronies.

After 40 years of "letting the Markets decide," we have a country with so many divisions that it barely merits the name "United" Kingdom.

One thing that does, however, bring the nation together is a regard for the NHS. It's incredible, that in the middle of the worst pandemic for 100 years, discussions & plans are ongoing to keep the CEOs & shareholders of private companies happy, at the potential expense of patient care.

We keep seeing that this government has and is dismantling the NHS through under funding and breaking it down and passing these parts to them selves family chums and conservative donors, it’s ours all of us and we need it like we always have.

Keep the NHS in public hands,

Do Not Privatise the NHS

Morale in the NHS is very low and our NHS employees are exhausted. If we can make them feel that we care about them in any way we can, it will be worthwhile. Be kind to an NHS worker. Buy them a lottery ticket. Or a coffee. Smile, and say thanks.

The NHS was promised to us the people of the UK, the Conservative party added to that promise but I fear that they are just paying it lip service with the intention of selling us out for their profit not caring for the people who depend on it. This pandemic has proved that the NHS cannot rely on private companies and works better when funded properly.

Already entered above.

The NHS cannot provide the service that it was intended to provide when private companies are making profits from that provision.

We need free healthcare to protect those unfortunate enough to be born with health PROBLEMS

The NHS( National Health Service ) has cared for me from 1958 at birth to the present day at 62 years of age, I have witnessed over these years the cost cutting effects on the nations health care, fewer more tired out and grossly underpaid staff, longer waiting times, more unnecessary deaths.

This Tory Government has to be halted in it's privatisation tracks, more dead patients saves this government more money.

From the cradle to the grave not profit for the elite

The time has come to fight to save our NHS from privatisation and to return it to the public service it was originally set up to be: paid for by tax-payers and free at the point of need - a model which is superior to any other and an example of what can be achieved with good will.

The NHS should be kept as it is, on a non profit basis. Everyone should have the right to treatment at the point of need and not by how much money you earn.

As a cancer patient I don't want our NHS to go private, as then it would be about profits, not the patient, I don't want to be treated by Drs and staff who are paid by private concerns, as the whole ethos of our NHS will be lost forever.

The NHS is one of the few things left in Britain of which the country can be proud – the NHS MUST be protected and saved from destruction by the current evil government!

The NHS is not something to be sold off to the highest bidder to make profit. Health comes first.

I was born in 1948 so have benefited all my life from the NHS. It was set up for the people of Britain to have free health care and we pay our taxes for this. Wealthier people can pay for private care if they wish but the majority have no choice but the NHS. We cannot allow the NHS to become a cash cow so that a few can make a profit.

The NHS must be brought back into public ownership. The blame lies with the greedy Tory party and the disgraceful attitude of the labour party who set out to lose the election.blame must also go to the rank stupidity of the majority of voters who out these people in power.
