Increase the foreign aid budget so Royal Navy can fund and deploy hospital ships

Petition Details

The Royal Navy plans on using Multi-Role Strike Ships, but these ships aren't designed for foreign aid. Hospital ships are protected by international law and have the infrastructure to provide humanitarian aid.

Additional Information

To ensure that hospital ships are fully staffed, Parliament could offer contracts to civilian doctors and nurses. Many hospitals around the world are small, underfunded, and understaffed, meaning people lack access to healthcare. We believe deploying hospital ships to developing countries could help save lives, improve UK foreign relations, and potentially help stop wars.
