Immediate action by Government to address crisis in NHS

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Address the current bed blocking that is occurring in hospital's by commissioning Under used residential care homes as a temporary measure to relieve the bedblocking.
To give all nurses, doctors and other professional medical staff within the NHS the same pay award granted to MPs this year of £2200
I am becoming more exasperated by the sheer incompetence of the current government to take action to address the ongoing crises with in the NHS due to insufficient beds and staffing.

They have presided over 12 years of underfunding, neglect and indecision with putting in place a vision to ensure the health service continued to offer improved services.
