Petition Action

Enshrine into law that the NHS cannot be privatised

Petition Details

We wish for a law to be created that prevents the NHS from being privatised by future governments.

Additional Information

It is possible that future governments may make the choice to privatise the NHS and possibly move to a private model, like is seen in the USA, where a routine operation can cost thousands of dollars and routine prescriptions can often times be prohibitively costly to the patient as well. We see the NHS as a national institution and wish for it to be protected from privatisation, both now and in the future as well.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

The role of the NHS is set out in legislation already. If you would like changes to this, you could start a new petition about that.
