Open Provide funding to partially cover costs of private healthcare

Created by Adrianna Trusinska
Closes on

Provide funding for any NHS patients to access private treatments for procedures that the NHS typically covers, covering the costs equivalent to what the NHS would normally pay if the treatment were conducted through the NHS. Patients would then only need to cover the difference in cost.

This approach would not only reduce waiting times significantly but also lessen the pressure on NHS resources, helping it focus on emergencies and those in critical need.
