A "power grab" over public procurement could lead to more privatisation in Scotland's NHS, the SNP has claimed.
MP Dr Philippa Whitford claims that the UK Government's "shambolic Brexit" poses a threat to the future of the NHS in Scotland.
The SNP's Westminster health spokesperson claimed that Holyrood would lose control over how key public services are delivered under such a system.
In May, the Scottish Parliament's Health and Sport Committee warned that the autonomy of the Scottish health service must be protected after Brexit.
Whitford said: "The news we've seen this week of £2 billion worth of NHS England contracts being handed over to a single private firm sets a dangerous precedent and last month's report by MPs which described the outsourcing of primary care services in England to Capita as a 'complete mess and a shambles' shows exactly what the Tories would do to our NHS in Scotland given half a chance with the procurement powers they have grabbed from Scotland.
"This is why the Westminster power grab over procurement after Brexit is so worrying – with the Tories in charge of procurement laws and policy, the Scottish Parliament and its voters would lose control over how our key public services are delivered with the future real threat of being opened up to profiteering firms from across the Atlantic.
She added: "We cannot allow this to happen in Scotland – but with the Tories intent on their power grab and a disastrous Brexit, the threat is major and real."
A UK Government spokeswoman said: "The UK Government has been clear that any decision that the devolved administrations can currently make, they will be able to make after exit from the EU."
