Funding so the NHS can provide all services free, and pet care

What the petition asks
We demand the government to provide funding for comprehensive healthcare, free to all, and based on clinical need rather than an individual’s ability to pay. We want the NHS for medical, mental, aged, optical, dental, and pet care needs, free at the point of use.
We believe it is time to recognise the holistic nature of all health aspects, from mental and physical health to elder care and even animal welfare, and to provide robust services that cover these areas comprehensively and fairly.
Some health services, such as dental and optical care, can require fees or private contributions, making them inaccessible to many. Expanding the NHS to cover these areas comprehensively could ensure that healthcare needs are met equitably across the population.
