Our NHS provides vital healthcare services to millions of people regardless of their financial status. However, in recent years, our NHS has been under immense pressure due to what we view as chronic underfunding, as well as increasing patient numbers, and mounting operational challenges.
This isn’t the fault of our wonderful NHS workers - we think it’s the result of chronic underfunding, poor resource allocation, and a lack of investment in prevention from the government.
