Rejected petition That a Public Referendum should be held to vote on whether the NHS Health Bill poses a threat to patient care and should be scrapped.

More details

The NHS Health & Social Care Bill to reform the NHS (ie to open it up to private companies to make financial profit from the sick and the vulnerable) has no political mandate as it was not contained in the election manifestos of either the Tory or the Lib Dem parties.

We must demand a public referendum to REJECT AND REMOVE the Health & Social Care Bill and throw out this illegal and unwanted legislation.
