<p>There is no threat to the UK’s National Health Service from TTIP. This was confirmed
again by the European Commission’s chief negotiator Ignacio Garcia Bercero at a meeting
organised to the All Party Parliamentary Group on TTIP this week.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>The chief negotiator outlined that EU public services are automatically excluded
from all EU trade in service market liberalisation agreements. Publicly funded health
services are specifically excluded. Member states decide how to deliver their public
services and can change the delivery model at any time. TTIP will not change the fact
that it is up to UK Government alone to decide how UK public services, including the
NHS, are run.</p><p> </p>
