Rejected petition Our NHS is not for sale. This should be exempt from any and all trade deals.

Due to on going Brexit negotiation, the NHS is a vital public service that should not be jeopardised.
The NHS and Brexit should remain seperate. Any parts of the NHS that need services from private companies should be more than scrutinized to guarantee value for money.

More details

19 new contracts worth £36 million have been put out to tender since mid-February 2019.
An editorial in The Lancet on March 2, 2019, went further, emphasising: “There is no good news for the NHS (National Health Service)…in all scenarios, depletion of the NHS workforce is inevitable, care for UK nationals living in the EU is uncertain, and access to medicines, vaccines, and devices hangs in the balance”. Indeed, the provision of diagnostic imaging and radiopharmaceuticals for patients with cancer is one key specialty in which the consequences of Brexit are multiple and potentially catastrophic.
