Nigel Farage has come under fire after calling for corporations to be allowed to "run the National Health Service and streamline it".

The Ukip leader told the Telegraph that the NHS should also be opened up to public spending cuts, saying: “I genuinely do think, when you... occasionally hear of a big businessman that says he’d like to run the National Health Service and streamline it, and get better value for money, I think that’s the approach we’ve got to take.”

"If you're going to cut government spending," he made clear as he hosted a phone-in with the newspaper's readers. "You have to decide where those cuts are going to come."

Farage previously told the Telegraph that it would be "ridiculous" to protect the NHS from spending cuts.
