This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Petition Take the NHS out of the hands of Parliament and give it back to the public.
Parliament has demonstrated that it cannot be trusted with the NHS.
Successive governments have subjected it to endless ideological top-down reforms.
We need to establish a stable, long term plan for the NHS which is accountable directly to the public without the interference of the government.
More details
The government has just held a public consultation on their mandate for the NHS: https://goo.gl/XiST49
It did not run for long and it was not well advertised, even so it seems the system was overloaded: many people reported their submissions bounced.
We have the technology to engage the public in a proper two way consultation with the NHS: a robust and transparent system of question and answer.
This will then serve as both a mandate and reporting mechanism to hold the NHS directly accountable .
