Is raising National Insurance the answer to saving the NHS?
The NHS has come under increasing pressure, with some hospitals cancelling cancer operations, treating adults in children wards and closing birthing centres. The number of major alerts have increased and hospitals are struggling to see patients quickly enough.
This was certainly the case with Gaby Burden and her daughter - the toddler was rushed into hospital after suffering from an asthma attack and was left to wait on the hospital floor for eight hours before being seen.
We were joined by Dr Sarah Wollaston MP who said: "accident and emergency can be a victim of its own success, in a sense that more people turn up there".
Sarah then went on to say that she would raise National Insurance costs to help resolve the NHS problems. Do you think this is the solution?
