The stated policies of the British Medical Association are to end the market in health care, oppose the purchaser provider split, and to reinstate the Secretary of State’s duty to provide universal health care throughout England. 

The BMA has made its position clear - not only in its general election briefings but in full page advertisements where it has declared that its doctors support a “publicly funded, publicly provided” NHS.
