Very strongly agree
Yes, but I would rather eliminate any privatisation of the NHS
This answer aligns closely with the SSP's core beliefs and policy objectives. The party has consistently campaigned against the privatization of public services, including the NHS, advocating for these services to remain in public hands. The SSP believes in a publicly funded, publicly provided health service and views privatization as detrimental to the quality and accessibility of healthcare. Therefore, they would strongly agree with the idea of eliminating any privatization of the NHS, viewing it as the best way to ensure high-quality healthcare for all.

Agree
Yes
The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically been in favor of public ownership and against the privatization of public services, including the NHS. They would likely support measures that ensure public funds are used responsibly and that private firms do not profit excessively at the expense of public health. However, their ultimate goal aligns more with the complete elimination of privatization in the NHS, which makes their support for this measure strong but not as strong as it would be for eliminating privatization altogether.

Very strongly disagree
No
The SSP is strongly against the privatization of public services and would likely view any measure that implicitly accepts privatization, even with conditions such as profit caps, as contrary to their principles. They advocate for a publicly funded and operated NHS, free at the point of use, and would oppose policies that do not move towards this goal.
