Labour’s 10-r NHS Plan should be shaped by patients, doctors & the public.
Instead, our research found private healthcare executives invited in to help draft it.
That’s not acceptable. The NHS should serve people — not private interests.

Fine issued after Somerset SSSI turned into caravan park
A Somerset caravan park owner has been ordered to pay £116,263 after being convicted of disturbing a Site of Special Scientific Interest. John Holland pleaded guilty to two offences under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The prosecution was brought by Natural England following a four-year investigation into Holland's activities, which evidenced he had turned a 1.2-ha grassland site within the Wet Moor SSSI into a permanent commercial caravan park.
