Give the NHS back to the people. The NHS is a service paid by the taxpayer.

What the petition asks

The NHS isn't a business in competition with other service providers, there's no need for high flying executives as there is no promotion work for them to do. Pay execs salary to frontline staff, giving the nurses & docs the pay they deserve & pay for treatments for the sick.
We the undersigned are calling for immediate change, put a matron on the wards, taxpayers money for NHS is for frontline staff & treatment not pen pushers.
NHS hospital chief executives have been handed pay rises with the highest annual earnings reaching a record £340,000. How much cancer treatment would this buy? How many docs would this pay for?
