UK Tory 'pressure group' calling for a 'two tier' NHS
A report in today's i newspaper states The Conservative Friends of NHS' (headed by health minister Maria Caulfield) wants private wings on all NHS hospitals; all high taxpayers to be automatically enrolled in private healthcare schemes; all high taxpayers should be enrolled on the scheme by 2025.
Other members of this body (CFONHS) include Rishi Sunak; Jeremy Hunt; Oliver Dowden and Victoria Atkins and James Cleverly.
They're 'championing private healthcare for those able to afford it because if we don't organise it an overseas foreign company will bid to do the same in the near future' said Cleverly.
In a tweet on X the group said
"Using the free NHS by the rich is unfair to the poor.
All high earners must have private insurance by 2025 and the HMRC should consider private healthcare as a legitimate tax deductable expense'
The Conservative Party has distanced itself from this idea officially saying
The Conservative Party officially rules out these idea and rejects them from becoming party policy.
