Very strongly agree

Less

The SNP strongly supports less privatisation of the NHS. They have consistently advocated for a publicly funded and publicly provided healthcare system. In the Scottish Parliament, the SNP government has worked to reduce the role of private providers in the NHS, such as ending the use of private finance initiatives (PFIs) for building new hospitals.

Strongly agree

Less, and nationalise all health services

The SNP would generally agree with less privatisation and nationalising all health services, as they support a publicly funded and publicly provided healthcare system. However, they might not advocate for complete nationalisation of all health services, as they may recognise the need for some flexibility and cooperation with private providers in specific circumstances, such as specialised treatments or temporary capacity issues.

Strongly disagree

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

While the SNP might acknowledge the potential benefits of increased quality and reduced costs, they have consistently opposed privatisation in the NHS. Their focus is on maintaining a publicly funded and publicly provided healthcare system, and they have worked to reduce the role of private providers in the Scottish NHS. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this answer.
