Increase NHS funding

Closed 42 signatures

What the petition asks

The NHS is on the brink of disaster. With increases of 0.8% in funding annually and the cost increase of 5% the NHS is about to fall apart. Vacancies are left unfilled and capital programs halted. Three quarters of trusts are now in deficit with some as much as 90%. Clearly investment is required.

These stories are the tip of the iceberg. Let's act now and save our health service. If nothing else give the uk people a referendum on how we can increase the funding in the NHS.
