Motion text

That this House notes that on the 60th Anniversary of the NHS Bill the United Kingdom is fortunate to have one of the fairest health systems in the world where no-one need fear becoming bankrupt because of their need to fund their healthcare; further notes that the NHS has dedicated staff who are driven by a passion for patient care; further notes that the continued commitment of funding through tax ensures equity for patients and is the cheapest way of collecting money; further notes that any move to a health insurance system to charge patients for their care would increase bureaucracy and would leave those who need the most care with the greatest financial burden; and welcomes the joint statement from the British Medical Association, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists, Diabetes UK, FPA, Macmillan Cancer Support, the New Health Network, the NHS Confederation, the Royal College of Midwives, the Royal College of Nursing, the Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health, Turning Point and UNISON stating their commitment to a tax-funded system.
