What the petition asks
The NHS is in danger of collapse with morale low, GP services in crisis and no long term planning to replace retiring staff. Have a Royal Commission review it’s future and aim to remove it from party politics, with no political gain to any party and focus on creating a stable funding platform
With reference to GP services and having spoken to a number of Doctors,most are not enjoying their work, feel stressed, unappreciated, and having to cover for Dr’s who have left/retired with no available replacements. The long term viability of the NHS is at risk due to inadequate funding and political argument. Focus is required to establish a well funded, well resourced system that can provide services to all, not least within the Mental Health area.
