I want to send a clear message to Donald Trump: our NHS absolutely must not be for sale (Picture: ISABEL INFANTES / AFP) Donald Trump’s comments this week confirm the worst fears for many in the health sector in the UK: that the scope of any post-Brexit trade deal with the US will include demands for big US private health conglomerates running our health services. The government’s response was hardly reassuring – not only did Tory leadership wannabe after wannabe queue up to meet the president – astonishingly on the morning of Trump’s now notorious press conference, Liam Fox refused to rule out US companies having access to the NHS in a post-Brexit trade deal. Though Trump may have later reneged on his original comments, no amount of rowing back should be enough to dismantle the seed of doubt that has now been planted by the president. I want to send a clear message to Donald Trump: our NHS absolutely must not be for sale, and with a Labour government it certainly would not be. You only have to look at just who the president is cosying up to for the grim reality to set in further. Nigel Farage has already said that private health companies should ‘relieve the burden’ on the NHS and has previously suggested that we could move towards a US type insurance system. The Tories and their no-deal Brexiteers running the party, along with Farage, are happy to give Trump what he wants, and to use the NHS as collateral damage to get the Brexit they want. Over 230,000 sign petition telling Trump ‘hands off our NHS’ (Picture: Change.org; Reuters) And if we have a trade deal with the United States, that could genuinely mean Trump’s America, with its huge private healthcare corporations, could get their hands on NHS contracts that I believe would severely undermine our free at the point of use universal and public NHS. I don’t remember seeing that on the side of any Brexit bus. The fact is that the ‘burden’ in the health service that Farage talks of has been caused by the biggest funding squeeze in the history of the NHS, under this government. Years of under-funding, alongside the constant tendering of contracts via the any qualified provider arrangements, has led to creeping privatisation in our health service. And we already know that privatisation in our NHS simply doesn’t work – it hinders co-ordinated care, costs the taxpayer and worst of all, means poor quality service for patients. There are countless examples of how privatisation has been detrimental to patient care. Interserve was brought in to provide facilities management for hundreds of buildings across Leicestershire, with a seven-year, £300 million contract. The contract was scrapped four years early because of reports of patients receiving meals up to three hours late, bloodstains in the corridors, and bins not emptied. More: Brexit Farage says Trump ‘really believes in Brexit’ after talks with the president Larry the Cat gets in the way during Donald Trump’s visit to Downing Street Trump may wake up to mosque’s call to prayer on Eid Or Carillion, which won a £200 million, five-year estates and facilities management contract with a big trust and then failed to clean the hospitals properly, with reports that infectious waste was seen overflowing in the children’s ward. Or how about Coperforma, a patient transport service that provided a service so shockingly unreliable that patients were forced to wait hours for urgent care with elderly patients left stuck at hospital for long periods after their appointments? The proper way to bring this desperately divided country back together is an arrangement where we’d have a permanent customs union, with an ability to have a say over trade deals, a single market relationship and a guarantee over workers’ rights. I am not prepared to put the NHS on any table for talks. Let us not forget that the Americans have a system that checks your purse before it checks your pulse. That is the last thing we want in this country.
