Labour promises to end privatisation scourge

JEREMY Corbyn will today promise to put people’s health before profits by ending all privatisation in the NHS.

At the rally in London to mark the 70th anniversary of the NHS, the Labour leader will vow to restore it as a “properly funded, fully public health service.” He urged people to turn out in their thousands to show support for the “dedicated, hard-working staff” and tell the Tories to stop damaging the country’s proudest institution.

Mr Corbyn will speak alongside shadow Health Secretary Jon Ashworth, union leaders, NHS staff, TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady and Daily Mirror editor Alison Phillips at the mass gathering. The Labour leader said: “It becomes clearer by the day that the Tories are deliberately pushing our NHS to the brink.

“Under a Labour Government it will be restored as the properly funded, fully public service it was intended to be.

“Labour will end privatisation because our NHS should be about healthcare for all, not profits for a few.”
