Rejected petition Increase funding for the NHS by a significant amount
The NHS is one of the largest workforces globally, employing 1.6 m people. The NHS in England alone caters to 53.9 m people, who are offered treatment for long term conditions as well as emergency care and many other services. The NHS will begin to crumble imminently without far more funding.
