The Green Party think it's unfair that public money is wasted on botched privatisation schemes.
The yearly cost of these privatisation schemes is over £1billion pounds and we are the ones left to foot the bill.
The government tells us that the schemes will provide us with choice. In reality it does nothing to ensure that efficient and effective health care is provided and it actually reduces some of the many health benefits we currently enjoy.
It's unfair that quality of care suffers when hospitals and surgeries are treated like profit-driven businesses rather than public services.
We will fight for a fair deal for those needing health care by opposing cuts, closures and privatisation and by demanding a full programme of locally accessible services.
In particular, we will maintain the principle of a free NHS by implementing in England and Wales the scheme that provides free social care to the elderly in Scotland.
We believe in keeping the health service free – we would abolish prescription charges, re-introduce free eye tests and ensure NHS chiropody is widely available.
We will also fight to restore free dental care and provide everyone with the choice of an NHS dentist.
