Stop the NHS White Paper that promises further privatisation

Our NHS must never be exploited for private profit. It must always be properly funded and free at the point of use for people from all social classes.

No privatisation in the NHS. Full stop

It is not appropriate or morally defensible to make a profit from people's health misfortunes. Many of us have been paying tax and national insurance contribution (as did our parents and grandparents)naively believing that we would receive "free health care" from birth to death.

The NHS should be funded publicly and able to put the care of patients first without being asset-stripped, having services cut in the interests of profit for private companies and their share-holders. The NHS was a national organisation and we have seen in the past few years the damage done to those elements that have been privatised e.g mental health services put out to private companies in some areas of the country, GP surgeries sold to private companies e.g. Centene and then sold. We have also seen the outstanding work of the NHS and its professionals this past year in marked contrast to the profilgate squandering of private companies which failed in their contractual obligations to provide the service with suitable equipment e.g. PPE. Leave the NHS to those professionals who understand medicine and do not hand it over to accountants and private profiteers.

We must protest against this American take-over. We do not want privatisation.

The NHS is our greatest public service, it needs proper funding not privatisation.

Private health insurance has a role to play but NHS medical and dental care should be free

Repeal the H&SCA and Reinstate our NHS, with the NHS Bill,

Stop trying to sell our NHS

The NHS is not for sale full stop! No to the white paper

This will result in more monet taken from my income as tax being handed over to shareholders who teally do nothing to improve my healtha nd that of my family without any control by me. I refuse to countenance that and will not vote for politicians who allow it. They do not represent me.

As a retired NHS Senior Manager, I have witnessed first-hand how privatised services bring

a) a lack of accountability as big corporations have the lawyers and accountants to outsmart the ever-stretched public service, resulting in cherry-picking of contracted work, no rcourse if contract prove untenable and tenuous or non-existent accountability due to claims of 'commercial - in confidence

b) proliferation, overlap and the waste of resources required to co-ordinate and account for non-standard ranges and differences in provision

Health should not be for profit.

I'd like to help any way I can to make sure that families, communities, economy and the environment get the justice that they deserve.

We must stop this white paper bill.NHS is ours keep it that way.we don't want people running it for profit.keep it public.The public care about people not about profit.Hands of our NHS

Please stop pretending to appreciate the NHS, selling GP surgeries to Centeme and stop trying to privatise the NHS that has served us all so brilliantly throughout the pandemic, even caring for the Prime Minister.

It is an insult to democracy and the memory of Captain Sir Tom Moore to pursue this White Paper!

Mr Johnson you promised more money for the NHS when we came out of Europe We the people expect you to keep your promise and no privatisation of our Nation Health Service

Another nail in the U.K. citizens coffins, should the government sign up to American Health Conglomerates ... One only has to look at the dire state of health care, emergency health care, hospitalisation, operations etc in US health care system today, sooooo many cannot afford the health care insurance payments to cover medical bills or prescription costs etc ... we MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT U.S. HEALTH INSURANCE GROUPS/HEALTH CARE CONGLOMERATES FLEECING US WHILST WE NEED POSSIBLE SERIOUS OPS/MEDICAL CARE .. this white paper is a BIG FAT NO from me ....

The NHS choices is a previous service that must remain in public hands,for people not profit.

I stand absolutely behind the We Own It campaign's response to this white paper. I am not an economist or an active campaigner with all the facts at my fingertips, but I have first hand experience of (some of) the effects of the current state of privatisation of the NHS; to have to wait months and months for a simple procedure (a hernia repair) to be done is frustrating and crazy. I am aware that the privatisation of the NHS has been going for many many years; it is being sneaked into the British people's lives extremely cleverly and may be sold to the public as getting some "efficiency" into the NHS, but it is in reality a slow-motion train crash. I guess that the real idea behind privatisation of the NHS is to take the health of the nation off the government's books, come what may. It is really a cousin of conservative governments' love of "austerity" or "balancing the books". It is definitely a cousin of the clever (slimy?) public finance initiative. What happens when the nation's health is left to the markets is (at least) two things: (1) poor people cannot get the health care they need, and (2) the private companies ("the market") can make money off those who can afford the private companies' tariffs. Making the health of the nation a matter for "the markets to sort out" resulted in the chaos we were in when Covid struck. If I look at the utter failure of spending 22 billion pounds (in one year!!!!!) on a track and trace system that did not work, and I then compare that with the amazing success of the country-wide vaccination process which I guess was driven largely by the NHS and volunteers from the public, I think there is really no comparison. I vote to stop the privatisation process in its tracks, and to reverse all the penny-wise-pound-foolish stuff that has happened to date.

Need action now

This was no where in your manifesto, the NHS belongs to the public tax payers not the private money makers!!!

Stop this white paper it's immoral and a slap in the face for our NHS whose expertise and selfless service has saved mant lives while Government made o e blunder after the other and gave contracts to cronies for useless PPE and made a mess of test and trace.

“ Our objective should be denationalising the provision of healthcare in Britain “ Jeremy Hunt ex Health Secretary.

The Tories have sold everything from British Telecoms to the Royal Mail, enough is enough..thie NHS is a life saving service, owned and paid for by the British public.

Stop privatisation of our NHS. Have the decency to consider the people of this country who own the NHS. I challenge you to conduct a referendum to seek permission for the privatisation. One question ‘can we sell off your NHS’ ? let’s see how much support you get.

Private profit is an unnecessary cost for the public. I do not want my tax payment to be wasted on private profit.

Action needs to be taken straight away.

No to any private involvement in the nhs .The nhs should be a fully public service and not a profit making organisation !

Disgraceful act by this government to do something that the country does not won’t , people have not voted to sell the NHS, so the government should not be allowed to to do this with out the consents of the British people!!

People’s health is more important than profits this needs to stop

Stop this white paper it is dangerous to our NHS, we want NO private or for profit companies involved in OUR NHS.

The NHS should not be treated as a profit making business. Healthcare should be a basic human right. Privatisation will just increase the divide between the rich and the poor. We must not allow privatisation of the NHS - it is NOT for sale

You promised that the NHS would be safe in your hands...selling it off is wrong!

Keep the NHS in public hands - put people before profit!

Stop the white paper bill immediately

The NHS must be protected from privatization you cannot put a price on health its dangerous the white paper bill must be withdrawn

More money for Conservative party associates means less for front line services. Do not allow this bill to proceed.

Bring our NHS back into 100% public ownership

I was a career railway man. I saw from the inside the Tory’s modus operandi for privatisation. Chip away from the edges, reduce funding, demoralised staff, finally break up into smaller units to enable a sell off. This results in big payments for the few at the top, destruction of career for many.

Our NHS is precious. This white paper is opening the door to disaster for the British public. Please withdraw it.

shame on this government to try and sneak this through when we are just beginning to relax a little and have hope for the future.

I was aware that they had been working towards this and it explains why they have resisted a pay rise for NHS workers who have served us so well through the pandemic-which may not yet have ended.The audacity of them is un believable.

THIS governments tactics are an absolute disgrace and beyond human. I have lived through several governments over my 74 years but this one is by far the worst! We must fight to the bone against this nonsense and hopefully unseat these greedy self serving people and their buddies for ever.

The #NHS is Exactly What is says National Health Service - FREE FOR ALL and MUST Stay So

Our NHS is something we should be proud of and not sold so that large companies can make profits out of sick people.

This white paper shows exactly why this goverment's priorities are completely wrong and all their promises false.

The National Health Service was set up for the good of the British people to ensure that we had free service when we needed it and NOT for profit of big business. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO BE SOLD OFF.

We must ensure that profits are NOT main consideration when dealing with NHS and selling and tendering parts off.

If wide open “Cherry picking” starts and the NHS is open to profit comes first not patients. Standards slip and overall we have a fragmented service.

There should be no place for private profit in the NHS.

This bill is far far too dangerous.

The NHS is the backbone of our society providing free comprehensive medical support for everyone. Previous governments used to ensure that all its funding went on providing a first class service and decent wages for all employees. Now this government is putting profit over people selling off services to private contractors who hoard their profits, provide inadequate services for the majority of the population and do not provide employees with a decent income. We will soon be like the USA where millions suffer from poor medical provision .

this must be stopped
