Shouldn’t be privatised at all
@93JNMJR3yrs3Y
I am satisfied with the current amount of privatisation
@B5X37HN1wk1W
Only where it can increase quality and reduce cost, and where it is easily reversible if these conditions are not met
@B5RJFVC4wks4W
If the NHS remains free then more privatisation is better, however there should be subsidies for Private Healthcare
@9RWM7T211mos11MO
It doesn't matter to me how privatised the NHS is. Only its effectiveness and being free on the point of delivery.
@9RT5H6H11mos11MO
Only initially at the administrative and supply chain level - not medical staff - and the service providers should be regularly audited and highly accountable.
@9RQY9ZT11mos11MO
Less, only when it can increase quality while reducing costs, also foster the development of health cooperatives
