Bank Fines Give it to the NHS

[Frederick]

I was sent this today..... if anybody thinks its worth voting for please Join in

£1.1 billion: that’s how much massive banks like HSBC and RBS coughed up this week in UK fines. [1] That’s a lot of unexpected cash. Together we can make sure the government spends it well.

The NHS is desperately in need of more money: squeezed services, short-cuts in care, longer waiting times. [2] So let's challenge the government to put this unexpected cash from the banks to good use - protecting our NHS.

George Osborne’s making the decision right now. He wants us to think that the government are good for the NHS. Let’s make him - and his Treasury - prove it. If tens of thousands of us sign a petition today telling him to put that £1.1bn into the NHS, we could make it embarrassing for him to refuse.

The government have used the money they've received from misbehaving banks for social good before. Last year, they spent the fines on help for war veterans.
