The Green Party’s manifesto states that the party will increase the overall NHS budget by £12bn a year, in order to end the current funding crisis, end market-based commissioning and procurement.

The Greens claim this will also create 400,000 new jobs within the NHS and social care.

The Green Party is severely against outsourcing and privatisation, with plans to introduce an NHS Reinstatement Bill, restrict the role of commercial companies, stop the further sale of NHS assets and look for ways to buy out current private finance initiatives.
