Parliament to be handed a way to save the National Health Service (NHS) from massive break-up and eventual collapse.

An NHS Reinstatement Bill 2015 is to be laid before parliament today by Green Party MP Caroline Lucas, with – the requisite – cross-party support from 11 more MPs.

The idea is that this could be the start of restoring the NHS back to its founding principles, and stopping the process of breaking apart and handing over of services to private healthcare organisations – which current legislation has guaranteed.
