What the petition asks
The public have been asked to lockdown repeatedly in order to save the NHS. In the 9 months since the initial lockdown we have seen little to show that the government have been investing in the NHS to equip it for this mammoth task. We would like to see a large recruitment drive for new staff.
We would like to see money invested in providing extra permanent beds as prior to the COVID-19 pandemic the NHS was already struggling to cope during winter flu season.
We would like to see enough resources available to the NHS so it can return to providing treatment for all illnesses in a timely fashion.
Please invest in our NHS. Please save our NHS. With adequate funding the NHS could cope with the influx of patients and the economy can begin to grow again. By investing in our health you are investing in our wealth.
