Secret expose TTIP documents highlight NHS privatisation its next goal

The secret TTIP documents, obtained by Greenpeace Netherlands, include a US proposal to have a committee with representatives from Washington and Brussels to meet each year “to review state-owned enterprises and monopolies” which would include the NHS The committee would meet annually and would not be guaranteed a representative from Britain.

But it would still be able to review state-run services in this country. Its duties would include checking that state services do not “distort” the market.  One section of the papers makes it clear that the EU and America would seek eventually to end all forms of state intervention in competition with the private sector. The report states that if Britain remains in EU the NHS will be sold off and privatised

It says: “The parties acknowledge that anti-competitive business practices and state interventions have the potential to distort the proper functioning of markets and undermine the benefits of trade liberalisation. If we don’t say goodbye to the EU we will have to say goodbye to the NHS Louise Bours UKIP health spokesperson

Opponents of TTIP have long argued that including healthcare in the treaty will force the privatisation of the NHS or at least make the process impossible to reverse. EU officials claim they will have wording that allows for the NHS to be protected but have so far failed to provide a full exemption. Meanwhile, Prime Minister David Cameron has refused to ask for an exemption while trying to persuade British voters to back the Remain campaign in the EU Referendum.

 Camerons reason was exposed in a Guardian report where he stated it required just one more push to get TTIP over the line.

Pro-Brexit campaigners have long warned that if Britain remains in the EU it will see its health service privatised and the NHS broken up. Following the latest revelations, Nigel Farage’s Ukip warned the documents prove that the NHS is under threat with a Remain vote. Another prime target which also falls into the category for privatisation would include the BBC. Its a supreme irony that the main cheer leader for the remain camp the BBC will prove to be one of its first privatisation casualties should their "project fear" campaign carry the day.

The party’s health spokeswoman Louise Bours said: “If we don’t say goodbye to the EU we will have to say goodbye to the NHS. “This committee has been requested by American investors, who will meet with EU officials once a year to decide the fate of our NHS."
