Right on the button from John Puntis for Keep Our NHS Public again in trying soberly to answer the not well-informed, ‘bull(y)ish’ comments from Wes Streeting MP who is off on one saying ‘look at me, I’m being so careful and promising nothing “the left” are on my case’
Our Co-Chair John Puntis spoke to Times Radio re Streeting's plans
'The only way the private sector would have spare capacity is with govt investment. That money should go into the NHS. If we really want to tackle major NHS problems, building a 2tier system isn't the answer'
'This is not an ideological argument, but a pragmatic one. Private healthcare takes away from the NHS both in terms of staff and resources, and is more expensive for the taxpayer'
Tony O’Sullivan's response to Wes Streeting is spot on

Want to know why we disagree with Wes Streeting's plan for more privatisation in the NHS & why it's not just some 'middle-class lefty' argument but a really concerning prospect?
Listen to our Co-Chair John Puntis list out all the MANY reasons why this makes no sense at all 👇
Fascinating piece from Gavin Barker dispelling the myth that we can't afford the NHS
“We owe it to future generations to deal better with pandemics. Not doing so would saddle them with a burden far greater than paying a bit more interest on govt debt”
