So long as Scotland remains under Westminster control, our health service will never be fully safe from the push towards privatisation.
As long as Westminster has the power to legislate over key areas, including trade agreements, regulatory frameworks, and funding models, Scotland’s NHS is never fully safe, not from the Tories, and not from Labour.
The truth is stark.
Our NHS is only as safe as the government that controls the levers of power.
And at Westminster, the trajectory is clear, toward a system where profit edges out public service.
That’s why independence matters.
It’s about having the power to protect what we value most, and to make decisions in line with Scotland’s priorities, not Westminster’s.
With independence, we can guarantee that Scotland’s NHS remains publicly owned, publicly operated, and free at the point of need.
We can safeguard it not just for today but for generations to come.
