Petition Hold a referendum on increasing NHS Funding 25% via ringfenced NHS taxes

We ask for a referendum to be held on increasing NHS funding by 25% through ringfenced taxes.
Modern medicine needs good funding. Cancer backlogs, A&E issues & wages are not fixed by "efficiency" talk. Significant monetary increases are needed & a public choice on NHS quality should be offered.

More details

Successive governments have not adequately increased NHS funding, and appear too focused on lowering taxes. We believe this is short-term populist low tax electioneering.

I believe the public sentiment is misread. People care a lot about health and I believe people are willing to contribute more for better outcomes.

NHS Funding is needed to fix public/private inequality, staff issues, backlogs and quality of care, fundamentally to help us to survive treatable illness.
