Petition Hold a royal commission into the state of the NHS at the start of Covid19 crisis
The Government should hold an independent royal commission into the state of the NHS at the start of the COVID19 crisis, and the adequacy of funding over the past 10 years.
More details
At the start of the COVID19 crisis the NHS had a critical care bed base among the worst in Europe and the UK had some of the lowest number of nurses and doctors per head amongst developed nations, according to the OECD. The government needs to understand why this happened and what can be done to change this situation to provide future resilience of the NHS.
