00:00Hi, I'm Theo with Manchester World. Today, I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking people about NHS funding.
00:05Essentially, we want to know if people would be willing to pay higher taxes and have better quality public services.
00:09And if they did commit to higher taxes, would they trust that the money was going where they wanted it to?
00:14What improvements would they want to see?
00:16More hospitals. I've had family members recently that have had to go to hospital for quite serious emergencies that have been sitting in a
00:23corridor on a bed for six, seven, eight hours. If they said to me,
00:26pay an extra £50, £60 a month, but we're going to build a new hospital that will basically halve the workload in that hospital,
00:33I would back it 100%.
00:35Tax the rich in it, I say, but in terms of NHS, you know, it is in a bad place.
00:40I've been on some waiting lists, you know, dental and medical care, and it's not ideal, is it?
00:46You know, I mean, so if you could throw some more money at the NHS, I think that's a wonderful idea.
00:50I went to AD last year,
00:52but it was because this was when we were at our previous doctors before we moved. I couldn't get an appointment,
00:58so that was the only other option.
