The leaders of the SNP, Scottish Labour and the Scottish Greens have all backed a call from Unite for David Cameron to veto the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the US and the EU, unless the parts with implications for the Scottish NHS are removed.
Meanwhile the Scottish Green Party has called on the Scottish Government to provide clear protections for the NHS, with critics warning that TTIP aims to remove barriers to multinational corporations and could enable them to sue governments over profits.
Much of the opposition to TTIP centres on concerns over the proposed Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), a mechanism which could give companies the opportunity to take legal action against a state which introduces laws which have a negative impact on their economic activity.
