Dave’s bid to dismantle the NHS and open it up to greedy profiteers faces its final hurdle today with a House of Lords vote.
But as a worried nation puts its faith in peers they hope will bring the PM’s dangerous reforms to a shuddering halt, it was claimed yesterday 40 members of the chamber have a vested interest in seeing hospitals privatised.
People hoping for a fair and objective vote based on what is best for patients could be in for a disappointment over the revelations that lords and baronesses carry out a variety of work for health firms that could cash in on the changes.
Among them is former Tory Health Secretary Virginia Bottomley who is a director of Bupa and Lord Naseby, chair of Invesco Perpetual Recovery Trust – investors in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
Dave’s Health and Social Care Bill is sure to the floodgates for a host of private firms to cash in on sickness, leaving poorer patients to make do with second-rate care.
Let's hope the vote fails today.
