Dubious treaty

First published in Oxford Times
Sir – It seems that with an election looming politicians are hoping to gain votes using the NHS trump card. Promises are being made left, right and centre to improve hospital standards. Meanwhile a sneaky little business treaty with America threatens to wipe out all patient security in the UK.
This treaty known as the US/EU Treaty will allow unprecedented power to shady commercial companies. Many of these companies have been indicted for fraud in America.
These business corporations will have the power to sue our Government if they do not get their own way.
As these corporations gain power, the patient loses out.
For example, there have been frauds selling untested substandard medical devices to hospitals worldwide and these frauds may have Mafia links.
The only political party campaigning against the signing of this dubious business treaty is the Green Party, primarily to protect safe food standards.
