NHS should be on the table in UK-US trade talks, says senior US Senator
Sam Lowe, senior research fellow at the Centre for European Reform think tank, said he believed Truss would “push back hard” against any attempt by the US to “include provisions that even tangentially could be viewed to increase costs to the NHS”.
“To get a deal with the US the UK will need to budge on many things – particularly on agriculture and approaches to food safety – but I don’t see it budging on anything NHS related,” he said.
