    The NHS Is a Health System Not a Charity. It Should Be Funded Accordingly, Writes Rebecca Richards

    The NHS is a health system not a charity. It should be funded accordingly, writes Rebecca Richards He walked his way into the hearts of a nation – one lap of his garden at a time. In doing so, 100-year-old – soon to be Sir – Captain Tom Moore raised a staggering £29million for the NHS.[1] While perhaps the most publicised, he is not the only private citizen helping the NHS respond to the Covid-19 pandemic. The ‘Run for Heroes’ Challenge – whereby social media users run 5km, donate £5, and nominate five of their friends to do the same – has raised more than £5million in less than a month.[2] And all over the country, people are sewing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for frontline healthcare workers that are lacking adequate safety equipment.[3] But the heart-warming response these extraordinary feats of solidarity and good-will elicit in us can also obscure the fact that the NHS should not need this level of support. As an anonymous NHS doctor recently pointed out, ‘The NHS is not a charity’.[4] The NHS is a healthcare system. It is therefore the government’s responsibility to fund, staff, and supply it so that it can effectively respond to a pandemic that was not entirely unexpected.[5] [6] It is a responsibility the government has arguably failed to fulfill adequately. Though not alone in its enforcement of austerity measures over the past decades, [7] the government’s economic policies left the NHS under pressure even before the pandemic broke out.[8] Between 2010 and 2014, for example, the real-term annual increase in NHS England funding was only 1.3%, down from historical annual growth rates of approximately 4%.[9] This has been associated with nearly 120,000 preventable deaths in England during this time period.[10] And though the government committed to increasing NHS funding in 2018,[11] this – and subsequent government funding increases – has not been enough to ‘reverse years of health underfunding’.[12] When the magnitude of the Covid-19 crisis became clear, the NHS was therefore not fully prepared.
  • Captain Tom Moore

    Captain Tom Moore

    Captain Tom Moore Captain Tom Moore is the war veteran who made headlines around the world in mid-April 2020, when he pledged to raise money for the National Health Service (NHS), by walking 100 laps around his garden before his 100th birthday on April 30th. The Challenge Captain Tom has long been a supporter of the NHS. He spent some time in hospital after a hip replacement a few years ago and has been following the news about the NHS, who have been working hard to treat patients during the COVID-19 crisis. He decided to set himself the challenge of completing 100 laps of his 25 metre garden, walking 10 laps each day, finishing before his 100th birthday. Captain Tom hoped to raise £1000 for NHS Charities Together. Worldwide Support Captain Tom’s challenge was reported by his local news and word soon spread about his amazing effort. People very quickly took Captain Tom to their hearts and his story was shared more widely, including on the national news. More and more people donated money from all over the world. Within a day, Captain Tom had exceeded his target. Captain Tom completed his 100 laps two weeks before his birthday, so decided to increase the number of laps he walked to 200. More Fundraising To help celebrate Tom reaching 100 laps, singer Michael Ball, the NHS Voices of Care Choir and Captain Tom released a version of the song ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, which was number one in the singles charts on 24th April. Captain Tom is the oldest person ever to reach number one and the single is the fastest selling of 2020 so far.
