This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Hold a referendum to divert funds from leaving the EU to save the NHS instead
It is becoming increasing likely that leaving the EU will cost the UK billions that we could spend on our essential services.
The British people should be given the option to spend this money on what they and all major political parties believe is the most important thing. The NHS.
More details
Every political party claims that they support the NHS and protecting it with adequate funding is a priority. The majority of votes cast in the last general election were for parties that supports the NHS and therefore this is the will of the people. Cancelling Brexit to provide funds for the NHS must be a choice given to the people
