Join the campaign for full public funding of our NHS
The public has been served admirably by our excellent NHS through difficult times. But now the NHS is hanging on by its finger-tips.
Since 2010 the NHS has suffered its worst funding reduction ever, and it is expected the shortfall will rise to £26 billion by the end of 2020/21. Waiting lists are rising and already there have been an estimated 120,000 excess deaths as a result of these cuts since 2010.
