FRANKIE BOYLE, Stephen Fry, Marcus Brigstocke, Rosie Holt and a host of celebrities are rallying behind a new campaign demanding that this year’s general election candidates take a solid “Pledge for the NHS.”

We Own It is spearheading the campaign, which is launched today and which pushes candidates to commit to making NHS investment levels on par with European counterparts like France and Germany.

A study by the Health Foundation suggests Britain falls short by a whopping £73 billion annually compared to Germany’s healthcare expenditure.
