A couple of weeks, ago, David Cameron accused Labour of scaremongering about the governments privatisation of the NHS. Since then, tens of millions of pounds of NHS contracts have been offered out to tender. Since 2012, 56% of these have gone to private companies. HIS Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, wrote a pamphlet on abolishing the NHS in 2005. He also talked openly about charging for NHS services in September. The very simple reality is that the Tory party want to privatise the NHS, and they are doing it before our eyes, whilst defunding and discrediting the service with daily attacks, feeding negative stories to the newspapers, as Hunt has repeatedly done. All while regularly professing to care for it. It is a disgusting deception on his part. What they are doing is a process, which is tried and tested, a well-worn path, and has been used in countries the world over to destroy public services and put profit into the hands of private companies. Im not saying Labour are perfect, and they had a big hand in handing over lots of money via PFI deals, and other means to privatise parts of the NHS. But they are committed to repealing the 2012 Health And Social Care Act, which is designed to create a market, and break up the NHS.
