Strongly agree

More, but only where it can increase quality while reducing costs

This answer aligns with the Conservative party's general approach to privatisation, which is to support private sector involvement where it can improve efficiency and quality. For example, the Health and Social Care Act 2012, passed under the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government, increased competition and private sector involvement in the NHS with the aim of improving quality and reducing costs.

Agree

More

The Conservative party has historically supported privatisation of public services, including the NHS. Under Margaret Thatcher's government, the internal market was introduced, and subsequent Conservative governments have continued to support private sector involvement in the NHS. However, the party has not explicitly called for more privatisation in recent years, and some members may be more cautious about further privatisation.

Disagree

Less

The Conservative party has not generally advocated for less privatisation of the NHS. While some members may be more cautious about further privatisation, the party's historical support for private sector involvement in public services suggests that they would not strongly agree with less privatisation.

Strongly disagree

More, and completely privatise the NHS

While the Conservative party has supported privatisation in the past, completely privatising the NHS would be a radical departure from the current system and is not a policy that the party has advocated for. The NHS is a cherished institution in the UK, and completely privatising it would likely be politically unpopular.

Very strongly disagree

Less, and nationalise all health services

Nationalising all health services would be in direct opposition to the Conservative party's historical support for privatisation and private sector involvement in public services. The party has not advocated for nationalising health services and would likely strongly disagree with this proposal.
