Health & the NHS

Free at the point of use, funded by tax, with more money on the front line.

Reform UK commits to keeping the NHS free at the point of use and funded by general taxation, while redirecting spending from 'back-office bloat' to front-line care. The 2024 Contract also proposed tax relief for people using private healthcare or insurance to reduce NHS demand.
