Make Leave campaign's promise of an extra £350m/wk for the NHS legally binding
Prior to the EU referendum, the Leave campaign pledged the UK's EU contributions to be redirected to the NHS which was a key factor in the public's voting.
If the referendum is to be adhered to then so should the promise of an extra £350m per week to the NHS.
Given the huge implications for the future of the UK, the EU, and the global economy as a whole, the promises of the politicians, upon which the British public made it's choice, should be legally binding, as with any verbal contract.
The result of the Referendum has put the existence of the U.K. into jeapordy again, Scotland likely to request a 2nd referendum for independence.
NHS resources have been overstretched for many years, and the system is near breaking point. It needs these funds.
