Should there be more or less privatisation of hospital and healthcare services?

More, but only where quality is improved and costs are less

Keep treatments for non-self inflicted conditions free, such as cancer, colds etc. Privatise treatments for self-inflicted such as obesity, smoking etc.

More, but to a point where it is affordable and still receives some government funding

Leave how is

Whatever SNP say

Less but the current system be more efficient and less wasteful.

The healthcare system right now is useless unless you are about to die. Needs more money and care about people not numbers. It's a computer system that has lost all humanity

The system is in desperate need of revision

Foreigners should have to pay at point of service and those who choose to not work and claim benefits should be forced to work until they can cover their cost to the healthcare service.

Privatisation where required

No, the NHS should be audited and those running the services should have their claims audited like MPs. No more first class travel and overnight 5-star hotels.

What ever benefits patient care, reduces waste and can provide world leading training/research/equipment

It should be about the best outcome for patients not ideology

Staff should be treated better

Core healthcare services such delivering care for example should be publicly owned, but run with a business approach. However private business should be used to help provide services (IT or technology for example)

Less, but increase national insurance tax on a banding system based on earnings

Zero privatisation

Less but improve the quality of the healthcare services.

Privatisation should be controlled eg cap profits or rewards are performance based. Owners should be UK based only, no US ownership.

less but open to paying more contribution

There should be a sliding scale

So long as healthcare is universal and free at the point of use everything should be looked at on a case by case basis for best value.

I think you should have to pay for gp consultations but all care after that should be free in order to stop people wasting appointments.

Nhs currently wastes so much money. They should be looked into onto how much money is being wasted in the nhs. People should also be fined for wasting the time of a&e staff and for missing appointments when a translator or therapy is required

Privatisation should only occur if it provides better care than the NHS, in a more accessible way to people and this should be reviewed nationally and should be renationalised if it does not meet set targets.

certain sectors could be made private but still affordable or free of cost

More, but only where free access is maintained and waiting lists can be reduced

More, and increase government subsidies

The NHS should be abolished and replaced with a system where those under a certain income and people with lifelong disabilities access public healthcare. Those with good health and on a good income should have health insurance through their workplace.

Have a complete audit and make it run more profitably. One idea is charge people for GP appointments!

Reform of the system is required this does not mean more privatisation. Funding is now adequate but needs to be used more effectively.

Hospital and health care services should be provided for free to UK citizens, with the capability to transfer patients into the private sector where necessary to improve NHS waiting times and the quality of health care provided

Government should provide basic healthcare GP and A&E and allow insurance to cover enhanced cover

More competition between private tenders overseen by monopolies commission.

More, and transfer to a National Health Insurance system to give patients more choices

I think people should be able to access private health care if they wish ...private health insurance premiums should not be taxed

fully nationalise NHS but allow private health services to be set up, so that the people have option to choose

Decisions on privatisation should be made on merit, based on the best value method to deliver a quality service to service users.

Less there should be no privatisation of the healthcare industry and the government should provide more funding

Pay a % every time but still government everything else the same still

Slightly more to tide things over for now

make it free and for everyone

No change but not entirely satisfied.

Keep NHS hospitals and services public and end free at the point of service while developing a private healthcare system

More were it is necessary and increases quality

More if it maintains quality and reduces costs

More patient choices.

Implement the Beveridge report

It needs to be managed more efficiently.

Basically same question as previous,

More as long as free healthcare is still made available for those who can’t afford it

Whatever works most efficiently!

Less privatisation but reform care by federalising it

Depends on the offer

A system similar to the continent, Spain, France etc but not as extreme as America

private healthxare should be more acsessiable amd the nhs needs better funding

Privatisation is neither good or bad. Ensuring that services are effective and ensure positive outcomes is more important.

The money needs to be better spent.

Flat charge with means tested additional charges

Whatever’s required to provide enough healthcare to all so that everyone can survive comfortably with the option of privatisation for less severe optional services and lower wait times for less severe diseases.

More in order to make the NHS more efficient and less waiting times

More, public funded, private delivery

more, but it should only be for services that are not life saving (e.g. cosmetic surgery)

I don’t think there should be more or less. I think the management within the NHS needs to improve and where money is spent needs to be improved.

Less, but restructured to minimise wasteful spending

I think free health care is a right to be entitled to.

Whatever policy strikes the right balance between fair access, affordability, and quality

Incentivize the performance of healthcare services based upon patient satisfaction Providers can budget aspects of privatization of service they own

Less, but find alternative revenue instead of government funding

Depends on what maximizes operational efficiency whilst supporting local workforces

Less, there should be no privatisation and there should be more government funding

Entire system needs overhaul in 21st century

More, if it makes it cheaper and more efficient to run

More but keep government funding as it is

Depends on if it will increase quality while reducing costs

Give the opportunity to more but fund the nhs more

Complete nationalization of all health and educational services offering no private alternative and free at point of use for everybody equally however give the people the choice of which institution they wish to use ie. which school or GP surgery

More in the sense that people earning more than a certain amount pay and those who are poorer don't

Yes, Only at general practitioner level

Certain services should be charged to the patient on a means tested basis, but GP, emergency cases and Intensive Care stays should never constitute a payment

Take it on a case by case basis

More but reduce the number of managers and admin staff and invest in more matron type managers for wards

Increase efficiency, budget is not the issue

Should be a basic free service in all sectors with more private options for those who can afford

More but only as far as clear improvements are shown

Like I said the nhs deserves more funding and recognition for what they have done especially during the pandemic

More oversight of managerial staff to ensure they are fit for purpose

Reduce funding, reduce non-clinical staff, review wasteful purchasing police

Keep NHS and give it funding but allow private as a choice if people want it.

There should be a choice between private and public health options that are accessible to the general public

Less in certain areas and more of management.

Yes, but you shouldn’t remove access to free/public healthcare.

Should be an element of means testing

Yes, but make healthcare insurance plans available even for those on low-income.

No privatisation but stricter regulations and more funding to ensure that people are payed well and there are less waiting lists. MoRE STAFF!

Keep current level but provide more funding

We should have Singaporean style health care.

private owned approach to insurance with price caps
