I would worry that the 1p rise in the National Insurance for the NHS would simply be more money lost in the ever growing financial black hole that would never see the light of day. I respect the views of the people but I feel that this would be another sticking plaster for the NHS’s existing gaping wounds. Much better I think would be a 2p rise, yes 2p, 1 for the NHS and 1 for social care as this would solve some of the social issues that are causing the drain on the NHS such as bed blocking and care at home.

If you want to see the origonal news article in the Mirror that proposes the 1p rise then here is the link: Mirror article of 06.06.18
