First Minister Alex Salmond has today proposed that Scotland’s National Health Service should be protected from privatisation by being given a constitutional guarantee in the constitution of an independent Scotland.
Announcing the proposal for consideration by the constitutional convention which will be given the task of drafting a written constitution for Scotland following a Yes vote in the referendum, the First Minister said:
“Nye Bevan’s founding principles for the National Health Service was for an institution owned by the people, which ensured that all have access to the highest attainable standard of health services, free at the point of delivery, based on clinical need and not ability to pay.
