PRIVATISATION IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH

Save our NHS Leicestershire says NHS privatisation is bad for your health because: Services cost more:

1. Using the private sector adds a large sum to costs, in order to fund additional administration, contract bureaucracy and legal costs. 
2. Private companies use taxpayers’ money to provide profit for shareholders. 
3. When things go wrong and patients are harmed, the NHS risks having to pick up the bill. Spire Hospital even denied all responsibility for the 4,500 women maimed by surgeon Ian Paterson, while operating privately – claiming he was employed by the NHS.
