Closed Allow National Lottery revenue to be used to fund the NHS

Closed on

Allow additional funding from the National Lottery to go to the NHS. In 2015/2016 some £1.93bn was raised for good causes by the National Lottery and I believe this money is would be better spent on our NHS

The NHS would benefit from additional funding and the National Lottery was set up and only allowed its license to fund good causes. Despite its shareholders making increased profits in recent years it does generate large amounts of money shared between many good causes. I believe the money generated would be far better spent on our NHS. It could help buy/replace much needed equipment and medication train and employ more staff.
