Labour has been accused of suppressing a major report because it did not support its claim that the NHS is under threat from privatisation . The health select committee was due to publish its study of NHS funding before the election . But , according to Conservative MPs on the all-party committee , it had heard little evidence of fundamental changes to the Health Service as a result of Coalition reforms . The MPs were told that , on the contrary , the pace of privatisation had actually slowed since the election , and that there had been no extension of charges and top-ups – meaning that there was no reason to think the NHS would not remain free at the point of use . Healthcare row : Tory MPs on the health select committee have accused four Labour counterparts of blocking a report that suggested the 'pace of privatisation ' in the NHS has in fact slowed since the last election . This dealt a blow to Labour 's argument that David Cameron can not be trusted with the NHS . Rather than publish the report weeks before the election , the four Labour committee members blocked it after reading a draft , claimed their Tory counterparts Charlotte Leslie , Robert Jenrick and Andrew Percy . Mr Percy , the MP for Brigg and Goole , said : 'This is despicable . We heard hours and hours of evidence , but because it does not support the national party line about the NHS being under threat , they block it . 'Labour were only interested if they could use it to weaponise the NHS . ' Last night , the angry Tory MPs released a dossier of some of the report 's findings . It said : 'The weight of evidence… showed there had not been an extension of charges , of top-ups during the current Parliament , and that these are not planned . 'It showed very little increase in private-sector providers since 2010 [ and ] a general trend of declining administration costs in the NHS . ' It added that independent provider admissions had increased by just 0.6 per cent under the Coalition 's Health and Social Care Act , while foundation trusts now receive a lower proportion of their income from private patients than during Labour 's time in power . Conflict : Tory MPs Charlotte Leslie ( left ) , Robert Jenrick and Andrew Percy claim their rivals blocked the report because it made the Conservatives look good , but Labour MP Valerie Vaz says the report they released themselves 'did not make full use of the evidence ' The dossier also said expenditure on NHS administration had fallen from 5.1 per cent in 2009/10 to a planned 2.7 per cent in 2015/16 . And it found that nothing 'suggests that continuing with a comprehensive tax-funded NHS is intrinsically undoable ' . Mr Percy said : 'They said the report was too pro-Government . But that 's ridiculous , because many of our reports have been very critical of the Government . 'On this occasion , the evidence simply did n't support what Labour wanted to hear . ' Valerie Vaz , a Labour MP on the committee , told The Spectator : 'This was a private meeting and I am disappointed a colleague has publicised their version of what was said . 'The report … did not make full use of the evidence . At a different point in the parliamentary cycle… there would have been time to redraft the report as we have done previously . ' A Labour source said : 'The Tory MPs did n't want to admit to what their Government has done . '
