BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset managers, already owns 65 NHS GP surgeries.
Now it wants to expand its UK empire by buying more NHS property, in a new venture with Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF).
It’s privatisation by stealth. But you can help stop it in its tracks.
Sign our petition. Tell GMPF to walk away from predatory US profiteers.
Big business was allowed to eat up a lot of the UK's vets - and the government has now had to step in to try to curtail exploitative practices and profiteering.
Like most vets, most GPs in the UK have always been sort-of in the private sector (as they are across much of Europe). When they remain small businesses, embedded in their local communities, and within 'the NHS family' this works well. It's the investor-driven big business model that's the problem - not only in care but throughout the commercial world.
When will governments understand that this model is inherently flawed, will always need expensive and cumbersome regulation - and tackle the real problem: reform of company law itself ?
