US-UK trade deal could cause 229,000 excess NHS deaths, analysis finds

Analysis finds that the US-UK trade deal agreed in December will divert billions of pounds from NHS essential services to pay for new medicines, potentially causing more than 229,000 excess deaths. Ministers defend the deal as protecting British pharmaceutical exports from US tariffs and improving patient access to vital drugs, but critics accuse the Labour government of caving to Donald Trump's pressure.
