Exclusive: Coronavirus crisis has revived debate over making health service fully public-sector operated, says think tank

Asked on what basis the health service should be operated, an overwhelming 83 per cent said it should be nationalised and run in the public sector, compared to just 9 per cent who thought it would be better to privatise it and have it operated by commercial companies.

Why did so many of the thick n umbskulls vote Tory then.

Err, no 😒

MiftyJackson Why 'survey finds'. You hav room to say who conducted it.

bridgetcraig12 When ?

ProtectourNHS Yes

Bluestockingmum What we want is neither here nor there when it's a question of the Tories lining their pockets...

With ChairmanCummings in charge it doesn't matter *what* the public wants

Johnrashton47 They’ve got a bit of a shock coming after Xmas then!! This is Johnson’s number one priority once he gets a No Deal Brexit over the line for his paymasters.

Oh so, those vile tory voters care for the NHS all of a sudden, eh?😏

😂😂😂 there won't be anything of it left except a Tory state religion by 2024

We_OwnIt And yet they keep voting Tory. Does any of the MSM feel they’re letting people down? SocialistSunday

Yes definitely end privatisation of the NHS. Corrupt private companies have eroded the NHS for the financial gain by defrauding the taxpayers

NHS is not being privatised. You are getting as bad as the Guardian.

Yes definitely end privatisation of the NHS. Private companies have corrupted and eroded the NHS for the financial gain by defrauding the taxpayers

Should have voted Labour then!

FakeNews ScumMedia

The Tories will just continue to hollow out and sabotage the NHS until quality and public safety can no longer be assured, at which point they'll use that as the excuse/justification for selling out and privatising it ...

What why? Do they really want to be like America were the poor have no access to medical aid and you have to pay for everything?

Bullshit

But they'll still vote Tory...

UK coronavirus live: NHS to launch Covid-19 recovery service to treat long-term effectsThe 72nd anniversary of NHS will see clap for carers at 5pm, as day two of lockdown easing measures take place in England So as a key worker 15 weeks or so after having covid, still struggling to get over it and manage a full week at work. My trust expect those in similar position to manage it using our annual leave. Compassion for patients but yet again NHS management lack of compassion for staff Some of us will be watching this extremely carefully. The medical profession has a poor record when it comes to dealing with post-viral complications - especially the NHS. The pubs must have one hell of a spreadsheet of names!!

Britons asked to clap for NHS on Sunday to mark 72nd anniversaryCelebration planned for 5pm backed by politicians and head of health service I work for the NHS. I find this clapping an empty gesture now. Instead of clapping, act responsibly (unlike the government). The virus is still with us, please maintain social distancing and don’t crowd into pubs and shops. I’m an ICU nurse. Thanks for clapping I appreciate the support. However, what would support the NHS more than anything else would be for the constituents of tory MP’s keep up pressure on them to fund the NHS with the money it needs to enable us to support patients NHSMillion Lol. At least Ed only had trouble with a sandwich
