A NORTH-East MP will today (Tuesday, October 8) demand that David Cameron end the secrecy surrounding what he fears is the creeping privatisation of the NHS.

Easington MP Grahame Morris will introduce his own Bill to make the private firms grabbing health contracts covered by freedom of information laws.

Mr Morris has ? as a member of the Commons health select committee ? led criticism of private healthcare giants gobbling up chunks of the NHS, under Coalition changes.

Critics have also warned that the public, because of the secrecy, has no way of judging whether the firms have good track records that mean they can be trusted with NHS work.
