NICs Rise: Govt must invest in healthcare

11 Nov 2024

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Following reports that the Government is considering additional funding for hospices to offset the impact of the NICs rise, Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesperson Daisy Cooper MP said:

“After years of underfunding by the former Conservative government, the Chancellor has a real opportunity to properly invest in health and care services to save them from breaking point. 

“Rather than hammering health and care services with a tax hike, hospices, care providers, GPs, pharmacists, dentists and front-line medical charities must be exempt.”
