Urgent: Look after our NHS
NHS staff are working harder than ever, but too many patients are waiting longer and getting a poor service. Experienced staff say it’s the worst situation they have seen. Our NHS is not yet broken, but it has been put under huge pressure. Underfunding, lack of staff and cuts are causing great harm, but we can help by joining together to get the NHS the funding it needs – please support the campaign.
