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, but profit margins for all contracts into the Public sector contracts should be regulated
Whatever delivers the best care free of charge and at at the lowest cost to the tax payer.
Their contracts should be audited to ensure supernatural profits are not being realised.
There should be no profit from NHS contracts for the private sector.
No, the NHS should be fully re-nationalised
There should be a profit cap, but the level may need to be varied depending on the contract.

No but profits can only be retained if the company delivers on it's target's and reinvests a certain amount of 5% on service improvements (tax-free).
Yes, but I have reservations surrounding the way this would be monitored.
