Keep Our NHS Public is launching a new campaign to build support for our vision for a People’s NHS.

A public NHS for all is the most successful model of health care provision this country has ever had. That’s why we’re asking campaign organisations, trade unions, health care experts, politicians, and most important of all, the general public, to back our call for a return to the founding principles of the NHS, because they work.

Our vision is based on the following 5 main principles:

1. A publicly provided NHS: end private involvement
2. An NHS funded to succeed – not defunded to fail
3. Respect, recognition, and decent pay & conditions for all health workers
4. Re-invest in public health & tackle health inequalities
5. Rebuild, restore, and expand our NHS

The big three major political parties are all offering us a similar narrative of an NHS that’s a funding black hole; an NHS that needs the private sector to save it from itself and the inadequate policies that we know won’t do enough to end the NHS crisis.

We must act now to ensure the opportunity for restoring a People’s NHS is not lost forever.

We are at a crossroads. The NHS crisis is now undeniable, and it is deepening all the time. But with a General Election on the horizon, and little on offer (with some noble exceptions) from the main political parties, and more privatisation threatened! 

The model of a universal, free-at-the-point-of-use NHS works. This ‘NHS for all’, publicly owned, provided, and accountable has frequently been ranked one of the best health care systems in the world. It is not the model that is broken, it is governments that have failed the NHS – and the population they are there to serve.
