"A race to the bottom in which patients are the losers"
#LiarJohnson and cabal in UK Government are but a puppet performance whilst those pulling their strings proceed apace with 'taking back control' of UK.
UK citizens are pawns to be manipulated & brainwashed into compliance.

"Speakers including Labour’s Jon Ashworth, the shadow health secretary, said that the bill did nothing to integrate the NHS or improve provision. Instead, he said, it made it easier for NHS contracts to be awarded to private health firms without proper process or advertising."
"Ashworth also said that the bill would also allow private firms to sit on new local boards that will decide what services are provided and whether they are privatised or even cut altogether – risking serious potential conflicts of interest."
"The BMA’s intervention, coming in advance of today’s second reading, is particularly significant as the doctor’s union did not oppose the last major NHS reforms, in 2012, until much later in the process."
"The BMA – which represents doctors across the country – has rejected the government’s argument that the bill is necessary to help NHS recover from COVID, while also stating it is “concerned about the wide-ranging excessive powers the bill would confer on the health secretary”."
“This is not the right time to be making such widespread changes to our health service,” he added. “What’s more, the bill addresses none of the problems the NHS is currently facing – too few resources, too little funding, a crisis in social care and a huge shortage of staff.”
