Resurrect fully Public NHS 

  • Declare a National Emergency so can swiftly resurrect fully public NHS, fully funded and fully staffed.

What is a National Emergency?
  • Passing regulations without the approval of a formal Act of Parliament, 
  • side-lining usual statutory duties, and 
  • taking actions beyond the usual scope of governmental remit 
  • are all examples of ‘emergency powers’ in the United Kingdom using 2004 Civil Contingencies Act (CCA)), to make temporary special legislation (emergency regulations).
  • With due deference to the scrutinising functions of UK parliament.
