Rejected petition Fund the NHS with an additional £350 million per week as promised by Brexit.

During the 2016 Brexit referendum, the vote leave campaign promised to use the £350 million EU saving to provide additional funding for the NHS instead. The UK Government should honour that promise, especially in light of the under-funding exposed by the pandemic.

More details

Boris Johnson was responsible for the promise during the campaign and as the current Prime Minister, he has the power to honour this promise.
