This bill would keep National Health Service procurement, delivery and commissioning out of international trade deals. It would also require consent from the UK Parliament and the devolved legislatures before any trade agreement that affects the NHS or health and social care can be approved. In effect, it aims to shield the NHS from trade rules and respect devolved powers over health services.
The bill is at the Commons 2nd reading stage. If it progresses, it would typically move to committee stage and further readings.
