Government must reject US corporate predators eyeing-up the NHS

Reacting to Donald Trump’s supposed NHS U-turn, UNISON head of health Sara Gorton said:

“Donald Trump has shown he is willing to play games with the future of the NHS and the government’s weakness means he thinks he can call the shots.

“The UK desperately needs strong government that will stand up for the NHS instead of exposing it to corporate predators from across the Atlantic.”
