This list represents the dire state of our democracy. The financial and vested interests of our MPs and Lords in private healthcare.



Over 200 parliamentarians have recent past or present financial links to companies involved in healthcare and all were allowed to vote on the Health and Social Care bill, turning it into an Act.



Who cares that they have put it in the register of interests. This doesn’t excuse their interests, it merely highlights clearly why they should have no part in voting for what is fast becoming the dismantling of the NHS. It is privatisation, despite the media’s continued use of the word ‘reforms’. The question must be asked. Are they public servants or corporate servants?







Note this research is up-to-date as of May 2013: The MPs are up-to-date as of February 2013. Since then two Lords have died, but a few others have been added with (New) next to their name. This means that the current number of Lords with these interests stands at 147 Lords with these interests. The total list of

Note this research is up-to-date as of May 2013: The MPs are up-to-date as of February 2013. Since then two Lords have died, but a few others have been added with (New) next to their name. This means that the current number of Lords with these interests stands at 147 Lords with these interests. The total list of MPs with these interests is 73, meaning over 200 parliamentarians have recent past or present financial interests in companies or individuals involved in private healthcare.





The list is long, I make no apology for that, tragically that is the reality of our politics today; and although the majority of vested interest lies with the Conservatives, as you might expect, it is however a cross party issue. It is compiled from accessible and trusted sources throughout the Internet. If you think someone should not be on here, then please say with reason and then they may come off if justified. I say this because the interests are varied, some have shares in a company involved in healthcare, they won't influence the company in terms of investment, but should someone who has shares in a company be able to vote on a bill that may improve their share price?



Others have received donations to fund their office, others have taken a gift or some are advisors, chairman, owners or ex-employees who as you will see by the entry under Margot James and her quote, she is still attached to her recent past.



The debate over whether these interests are acceptable is yet to be held properly, and for the large part it will not stop unless they are stopped. They do not listen to the public, the NHS is not something this government cherishes but is just another public owned service that the financial elite wish to get their hands on. For years the NHS has been developed by us the public and now they want it for themselves. The time has surely come to protest in large numbers and for the union members to ask their leaders to call for a strike. You can help apply pressure by spreading this out on twitter. It is already gone quite viral, but can go wider still.



I start with the Lords, some (about 40) of which were taken from the Daily Mirror research: These are also available in the register of interests, and some from my own research.



An e-petition has been set up which is here - http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/44971 - if you can please sign it to stop Lords voting on their own interests, this would go some way to prevent their behaviour.





1 in four Conservative Peers have financial interests in companies involved in private healthcare. 1 in 6 Labour Peers. 1 in 6 Crossbench Peers and 1 in 10 Liberal Democratic Peers. Of the MPs, 78% are Conservatives who have these interests. Should they have these connections? Note: Anyone using this research please cite this as the original source. There have been a few mainstream articles now where it has been mentioned without saying where it has come from.
