Rejected petition Correct NHS Funding via public engagement on cost & a referendum on tax
We call on Parliment to correct the NHS funding crisis which needs credible tax increases confirmed by the public in a binding referendum.
We must fix years of chronic underfunding, resolve inequality between public/private healthcare, fix low NHS wages and help us survive treatable illness.
More details
Successive Governments have appeared scared of increasing tax and appear to believe lower taxes are wanted by the Public above all
I believe this sentiment has been misread, people care a lot about health and the consensus I experience is that we are all willing to contribute more for better outcomes
Modern medicine costs more, so engage us (the Public) and help us with long term sustainability and improvement of the health service and its staff, rather than focus on short term electioneering
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand you would like to see more funding being provided to the NHS but we are unclear what precise action you would like the Government to take. You can view and sign petitions we already have open on the topic of increasing NHS funding here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions?q=increase+NHS+funding&state=open
You could start a new petition calling on the government to raise taxes to specifically pay for NHS services, similar to this open petition:
Raise income tax to increase nurse pay in the NHS.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/629933
Or you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
