Time and time again during the election campaign of 2019 the Conservative Party assured us that the NHS is not for sale. In March 2020, when the UK started trade negotiations with the US, Prime Minister Johnson declared that the NHS was not on the table.
Yet less than a year later American owned Operose Health has taken over a large number of GP surgeries in greater London causing concerns in for instance Maida Vale, Croydon and Brent and is now the UK’s largest provider of primary care.
It is also notable that the Government recently appointed Samantha Jones as an expert advisor for NHS transformation. Ms Jones was previously a chief executive of Operose Health.
