Health not wealth must be priority

I AM increasingly concerned that our NHS is under threat.
The Government plans to sell off chunks of our health service to private companies and make it easier, for those who can afford it, to jump the queue, leaving the rest of us to wait longer for our treatment.
Health care is too important to be handed over to the private sector to make a profit — look what happened to our railways, water, gas, electricity services.
It’s about large profits for the privileged few at the expense of a decent service for the majority of us.
We need to campaign now to defend our NHS before it is too late. The NHS should be about health not wealth!
