Labour's Policy on Waiting Lists in the NHS

This blog is about Labour's policy on waiting lists: NHS apps and ‘Partnership agreement between the NHS and the independent sector’.  The attached leaflet from Keep Our NHS Public (KNOP) details the challenges, Labour's promises, the partnership agreement with the independent sector, caveats on private contracts, the risks to patients, staff and the NHS as an organisation, and campaigning.

We Own  It has 3 demands:

• Buy out private sector capacity to boost the NHS (Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells bought a Spire hospital)
• Bring outsourced contracts back into the NHS saving £10m per week
• No more PFI deals rebuilding the NHS

Join us in the campaign to protect the NHS from further privatisation.
