More than 100,000 demand Richard Branson 'stop dragging NHS through courts' More than 100,000 people have backed a petition calling on Richard Branson’s Virgin Care to stop “dragging the NHS through the courts”.

Campaigners opposed to the privatisation of NHS services launched the campaign after it was revealed that the Virgin Grouphas accrued more than £2bn in health services contracts in the past five years.
