Legally ensure future proper funding & staffing of the NHS & Social Services.
The levels of service required in these areas needs to be decided, cross-party, in parliament, with active representation from groups representing patients and medical experts. These must then be enshrined in law as must the salaries and protection of the staff. We owe these workers a huge debt.
The current Covid-19 crisis has shown the consequences of allowing our critical services to run down. We would all be better off if we were starting from a fully funded and staffed position. Over the last 10 or so years we have lost 20,000+ nurses and countless doctors and ancillaries. The Nightingale units would have their staff!
The NHS belongs to us, not the government, not any political party and not any special interest group!
It now needs more from us than a handclap on the doorstop.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you want the Government to protect the NHS in the future, but it's not clear what action you want the Government to take to achieve this.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Ensure continued Universal health cover by legally committing to a minimum spend: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300925
Create a National Health Insurance Tax for the NHS: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/313361
Revoke the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and renationalise the NHS: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300019
If you want the Government to take another action, such as a regular review of NHS funding with consultation of other parties and NHS trusts, you could start a new petition calling for this.
