Cut the foreign aid budget by 50% and use this money to save the NHS

Closed 49 signatures

What the petition asks

Our NHS is in crisis and needs urgent investment. This money would allow for more facilities to be built, more training and recruitment of doctors and nurses, more research and extra mental health provisions. Also, as people are living longer the NHS needs more facilities to help the elderly.
Multiple reports from healthcare experts, RCN, news reports etc all point to our NHS being at breaking point.
