Back Clive Efford MP's Bill to save our N.H.S.
We urge all Stockport's MPs to support Clive Efford's Bill to protect the National Health Service from privatisation.
Why is this important?
On November 21, MPs will vote on a Private Member’s Bill aimed at halting the spread of privatisation across the NHS. Clive Efford’s Bill would scrap the worst parts of the Government’s Health and Social Care Act of 2012. The 2012 Act unleashed privatisation by imposing competition law on the NHS and exposing services to bids from private companies.
Clive Efford’s Bill would rein in privatisation by
• Removing competition requirements and regulations
• Preventing the NHS watchdog Monitor acting as a competition enforcer
• Restoring the Secretary of State’s duty to provide National Health Services
• Shrinking what NHS hospitals are allowed to earn from private patients – currently up to half their total income!
This petition has been launched by Stockport NHS Watch. We will deliver it to all four of Stockport’s MPs and lobby them to stand up for the NHS on November 21.
We cannot stand and watch the NHS being stolen from us!
