  The NHS needs to be reformed to remain true to its founding principles; the question is how. International evidence suggests
  
  that increasing marketisation and privatisation of healthcare services leads to greater expenditure, greater variations in care,
  
  reduced access to services, and erosion of professional standards. On that basis, the reforms have been heading in the wrong
  
  direction for a long time, with all the major political parties supporting policies that increase the role of the private sector in the
  
  NHS.
