Rejected petition Reallocate the £8m King's portrait fund to the NHS

Pictures don't save lives; medical equipment does. Why spend £8m on portraits when you could spend it on patients?

More details

Everyone in this country depends on the NHS; I, like many, owe it my life. If the government can find £8m for pictures, it can spend that money on things that are of real value to the people.
