<p>The Government has always been clear that protecting the NHS is of the utmost importance
for the UK. We believe, as does the European Commission, that provisions in the current
texts of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) achieve this protection.</p><p>Over
several decades the UK and EU have signed numerous trade agreements. These treaties
have helped both UK and EU businesses grow and create high quality jobs. They have
also ensured that it remains for the UK to decide how our public services are run.</p><p>TTIP
will be no different. Decisions on how to deliver public services for the best outcomes
for UK citizens are and will be made by UK governments, not our trade partners. The
Prime Minister, the European Commission and the US Government have all confirmed this.
The NHS is not at risk from TTIP or any other trade and investment agreement.</p>
