Less, and nationalise all health services

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.

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.

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.
