I want the government to consider introducing a voluntary additional tax to fund a free of charge veterinary service similar to the NHS.

Require vets to provide free lifesaving care for pets
If the pet is in desperate need of care, and the pet's life is on the line, the vets should have to give the animal free medical care, so the pet does not die.
Regulate and reform veterinary care
We call on the UK Government to establish regulatory oversight of veterinary care. This should include written treatment plans, itemised bills, consent safeguards, and accountability for corporate-owned practices which we believe profit from distress.
Fund a new government-backed animal cruelty policing unit
Fund a government-backed Animal Cruelty Policing Unit that has legal authority to seize animals, enforce fines and force entry in cases where there are reasonable grounds to believe that an offence against a protected animal has occurred under Section 9 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006.
Make it law that animal charities must obtain vets notes regardless of health
Make it a legal requirement that all rehoming and rescue charities obtain vets notes from previous owners when dogs are given up. This will show a full report of the animals health to ensure what the previous owner has disclosed is correct.
Add veterinary medicine to second-degree tuition loan exemptions
We ask the government to add veterinary medicine to the list of second-degree courses eligible for tuition fee loans. This would align it with medicine and dentistry, remove unfair financial barriers, and help address the UK’s critical veterinary workforce shortage.
