Increase the NHS budget by the £350million per week that was given to the EU.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Throughout the 'Brexit' referendum in the UK, the Leave campaign persistently argued that the UK sent £350million a week into the EU, and that that money should instead be sent to the NHS. Following the vote to leave the EU, this argument should be put into practice.
Taken from <http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/why_vote_leave> on 24/06/16: 'We will be able to save £350 million a week. We can spend our money on our priorities like the NHS'.

The Leave camp should be bound by the arguments of their campaign else democracy has malfunctioned in this referendum.
