<p>The UK’s public services, including the NHS, are protected by specific carve-outs,
exceptions and reservations in the trade agreements to which the UK is a party, and
the UK will continue to ensure that the same rigorous protections are included in
future trade agreements. Decisions about public services will continue to be made
by the UK Government (or the Devolved Administrations, where appropriate), not by
our trade partners.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has been clear that the NHS is not,
and never will be, for sale to the private sector, whether overseas or domestic and
this position was reaffirmed in our negotiating objectives for a UK-US Free Trade
Agreement published on 2 March 2020.</p><p> </p>
