Ed Miliband launched Labour’s election campaign with a promise to cap the amount of profit a private contractor can make from NHS contracts. Under the proposal private firms would be limited to profit margins of 5% on all contracts above £500,000. Proponents argue that the plan will stop the NHS’s "drive to privatisation." Opponents argue that limiting private contractor’s profits will make it harder for the NHS to keep up with rising demand for care.

5% profit is not enough to keep a good private firm running the NHS properly. If privatised the cap for profit share should be higher such as 10-15%. This can then be invested back into the NHS.

This can affect those small companies making a little profit. It should be attached to companies making a profit over a certain amount.
