1 The NHS Public services, especially the NHS, are in the firing line. One of the main aims of TTIP is to open up Europes public health, education and water services to US companies. This could essentially mean the privatisation of the NHS. The European Commission has claimed that public services will be kept out of TTIP. However, according to the Huffington Post, the UK Trade Minister Lord Livingston has admitted that talks about the NHS were still on the table.

On Friday, the EUs chief negotiator, Ignacio Garcia Bercero, said it was time to pick up the pace. We are ready to seek to conclude negotiations in 2016 provided that the substance is right. He told journalists that the latest round of negotiations the 12th were being extended into next week to intensify talks on sensitive areas...yup they seem very anti.

@ mikeymk - 6.04.16 - 07:54pm The NHS isn't part of the EU's design. The government personnel have seen it's demise coming for a long time, and subsequently they've been investing in it's private replacement infrastructure. Everyone voting Labour has voted for this. I don't support this, and never have. I vote UKIP and they have been the only party, until this term, to support scrapping EU membership and subsequently it's laws, allowing us our own constitution entirely, with the promise that this will include a free NHS for British citizens. Voting out of the EU is the only way to save the NHS. Voting Labour has been killing it, due to them handing power to the EU. You Luna said at the last election you voted Labour. There's no use you crying to save the NHS when you personally put the boot in. there's a fair amount of truth to this, but maybe saving the nhs as it is now is not the way forward. the fact is the nhs simply does not work. maybe the way forward is a semi privatised version of the current system |

@ eyesore - 7.04.16 - 03:05pm there's a fair amount of truth to this, but maybe saving the nhs as it is now is not the way forward. the fact is the nhs simply does not work. maybe the way forward is a semi privatised version of the current system maybe the reason is doesn't work is because of all the measures instituted by politicians and managers trying to put streamlining forward as a worthwhile priority... the very notion of letting economics be the guide is madness of the highest order. some things should never be perceived in terms of profits they can generate. we've spent years looking at the American system thinking how can they stand it. well it's only the ones with low income jobs who have to and since that's never the same people that make the plans they don't have to care. they can tell themselves they've done their best when all they've really done is help a few get richer while thousands suffer. what's worth emulating about any of that for those of us not seeing it as an opportunity to make more money ? this may have sounded argumentative, it wasn't meant to. |

in every organisation it's the people on the shop floor who see first exactly what's wrong. the same people who are ignored by the high ups because whenever you have an idea or a plan, you can't wait to put it into action. people who actually work in the NHS could make a better job of fixing it than people who only ever read stats and talk to managers and civil servants... |
