Shantanu, the Government could not have been clearer. In 2019 the Conservatives promised the NHS would not be on the table in trade deals. [1] But words aren't enough, and they've resisted pushes for legal protections to keep our NHS out of new trade deals. [2]
But now we've got a chance for a new push to get our NHS proper protection from trade deals. Because there's a new Trade Secretary in place, Anne-Marie Trevelyan. This is our chance, in her first few weeks in the role, to prove to her how much we want concrete protections for our NHS.
An open letter, signed by hundreds of thousands of us, will make sure the new Trade Secretary knows exactly where the public stands. And once we reach 100,000 signatures, we'll send the letter directly to her, and let you know her response.
So Shantanu, if you believe the NHS belongs to all of us, and MUST be kept out of any future trade deals, will you sign the open letter to the Trade Secretary? Just click the button below and your name will be added to the open letter automatically!

Here's what the open letter says:
Dear Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Secretary of State for International Trade,
As you settle in to your new role, we wanted to remind you of the manifesto promise this Government made to voters in 2019:
“When we are negotiating trade deals, the NHS will not be on the table. The price the NHS pays for drugs will not be on the table. The services the NHS provides will not be on the table.”
Taking the NHS out of public hands and opening it up to competition from foreign companies is too high a price to pay for any trade deal. Up to now the Government has resisted calls to introduce proper legal protections to prevent the NHS being sold off or undermined by trade deals with other countries.
Please ensure that the Government commits to this promise, and ensure that when it comes to trade negotiations, our NHS is well and truly off the table.
Signed,
Thousands of members of the public
A few months ago, we asked which of the Government’s NHS promises they needed to prioritise delivering on. Over 50,000 of us responded and made it clear you thought keeping the NHS out of trade deals was the #1 priority. Together, this is our chance to show the Government's new Trade Minister where we stand, and keep the NHS in public hands.
So Shantanu, will you add your name to the open letter today? You can sign with one click

Thanks for everything you do,
