Analysis suggests the UK-US trade deal could force the NHS to divert £45bn from essential services to cover new medicines, resulting in over 200,000 avoidable deaths in England. The deal, agreed in December, aims to help British drug exports avoid US tariffs and provide access to life-extending drugs.
