MORE than two-thirds of people in England are concerned that the Conservative’s shake-up of the NHS risks extending privatisation in the health service, a new poll suggests.

Of the 1,008 people polled, 72 per cent said they were worried that the proposals would open the health service to contracts being given out to private companies without scrutiny.
