The current crisis shows that the NHS has been underfunded for years in terms of spending on equipment and also on wages. We need a properly funded NHS to keep the country fit & healthy rather than one where we have to wait for weeks to see GPs that are under immense pressure & workload, or months to be able to get into hospital for needed operations.
The staff in the NHS are working too hard with too few resources. It's time to change that.
