Ensure the 350m in savings gained from exiting the EU is spent on the NHS

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The Out campaign made a big deal of the fact that EU Membership costs us 350m per week (it was on a bus and everything). They said that we should fund the NHS instead. Those leading the Out campaign are likely future leaders of the UK and so in a position to ensure this happens.
