THE majority of the British public want an end to NHS privatisation, a new polling shows today.

Research by Survation for campaign group We Own It finds that 66 per cent of people are concerning about outsourcing the health service to private companies and want the NHS to be reinstated as a fully public service.

Only 25 per cent of voters support the policy proposed by both Labour and the Tory government for the NHS to pay private providers to perform NHS operations.
