Very strongly agree

Less

The SSP advocates for less privatisation and more public control over essential services, including healthcare. They argue that the NHS should be fully funded and publicly operated to ensure universal healthcare coverage. The party's stance is that healthcare is a human right and should not be subject to market forces.

Very strongly agree

Less, and nationalise all health services

Nationalising all health services aligns with the SSP's vision for a healthcare system that is publicly funded, publicly provided, and free at the point of use. The party believes in removing private interests from healthcare to focus on patient care and public health outcomes, making this stance highly agreeable to their policies and principles.

Strongly disagree

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

While the SSP might acknowledge arguments for efficiency, their fundamental opposition to privatisation in healthcare means they would strongly disagree with privatisation efforts, even if framed as a means to increase quality while reducing costs. The party is likely to argue that public investment and management are the best ways to achieve these goals without compromising equitable access.

More

The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) is a left-wing political party that strongly supports public ownership and the provision of public services. The SSP has historically opposed the privatisation of public services, including the NHS, as they believe it leads to inequality in access to healthcare and prioritises profit over patient care.

Very strongly disagree

More, and completely privatise the NHS

Completely privatising the NHS is antithetical to the SSP's core beliefs in public ownership of essential services. The party views healthcare as a public good that should be accessible to all, regardless of ability to pay, and opposes policies that would lead to a fully privatised healthcare system.
