Add 1% to income tax as an "NHS tax" with all funds direct to the NHS

Closed 55 signatures

What the petition asks

The NHS has a massive budget short fall and an aging population needing more and more care and support services. This is unsustainable without more innovative funding. The public could make a contribution direct to NHS funding by adding 1% NHS tax into current income tax. Let's save OUR NHS
