Launch of The Rational Policy-Maker’s Guide to Rebuilding the NHS report

That this House welcomes the publication of the report The Rational Policy-Maker’s Guide to Rebuilding the NHS; supports the report’s main conclusions that under the 1997-2010 government the NHS improved hugely, public satisfaction went from all-time lows to all-time highs, in the early 2010s international comparisons regularly ranked the NHS as world-class; notes the report’s clear conclusion that the source of the improvement in NHS output was overwhelmingly due to increased funding, and not from greater involvement of the private sector, that the Private Finance Initiative was uneconomic, that using public money to build private sector capacity is expensive and worsens care; further notes that the NHS should be publicly run, publicly funded and free at the point of use; rejects calls for any greater role for the private sector in the NHS; and encourages all hon. Members to read the report and for policy-makers to act in line with its recommendations and findings.
