Ed Miliband launched Labour’s election campaign with a promise to cap the amount of profit a private contractor can make from NHS contracts. Under the proposal private firms would be limited to profit margins of 5% on all contracts above £500,000. Proponents argue that the plan will stop the NHS’s "drive to privatisation." Opponents argue that limiting private contractor’s profits will make it harder for the NHS to keep up with rising demand for care.

No, if privatisation exists within the NHS, then it needs to be good and companies need an incentive otherwise why would they bother?

Yes, except certain health services will have an exception; those of which are mostly where people go to.

We should ensure that the contract NHS has with private companies, such as pharmaceutical companies within specified profit margins, to pharmaceutical companies.
