Our recent work on PFI and private hospitals has had a major impact and we have started to change how politicians think about markets in healthcare.
Although the donations we have received to date have allowed us to employ one researcher, most of this work has been done for free by a team of volunteers.
This is not sustainable. Unless we receive more funds through individual donations we won’t be able to continue.
In the future we want to look in detail at: the mass sell-off of NHS land; conflicts of interest between the NHS and the private sector; and the money which leaks out of the Social Care market in the form of profits and debt.
To maintain our independence, we won’t take money from government or big business for this work. But if 1000 people could contribute £100 a year, this would give us the funds we need.
Compared to other health think tanks – who do receive money from big business and government – we operate on a fraction of their budgets.
Supporting CHPI helps to reset the balance.
CHPI is the only truly independent health think-tank dedicated to the founding principles of the NHS. To continue our work keeping the public interest at the centre of health and social care policy, we need your help.
Please support CHPI so we can continue to impact the health policy debate.
