The UK government has agreed a deal with Donald Trump that will see the NHS pay pharma companies much higher drugs prices. But they won’t come clean on how much this agreement will cost the NHS.
Estimates suggest that it could cost the NHS £9 billion by 2035 – but so far the government has refused to confirm this.
A huge majority (64%) of the British public oppose giving big pharma companies more money if it means diverting funding from other parts of the NHS. And experts say doing so would result in tens of thousands of excess deaths each year.
On this matter of crucial importance to the NHS, this secrecy is outrageous. What do ministers have to hide?
Sign our petition urging health secretary Wes Streeting to come clean on the true costs of this deal – and agree to a democratic vote in parliament.
