Significantly reduce Foreign Aid and use that money for the NHS.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the Foreign Aid budget significantly slashed in order to increase NHS funding with a view to increase wages across the board of all NHS workers and the complete nullification of car park charges for all staff.

Our NHS has been the backbone and pride of our country for over 70 years, it’s time to reward all hardworking staff with pay rises and higher staffing levels. The NHS response during the CoronaVirus crisis must not go ignored.
