Health and Social Care Levy Act 2021
Summary
This Act introduces a new 'Health and Social Care Levy' – essentially a tax increase – to raise money specifically for the NHS and adult social care services. The tax is paid by employees and employers, and the money collected goes directly towards healthcare and care for older or vulnerable people.
A vote to support means
- —Supporting this Act means backing a new tax that funds the NHS and social care services. The money raised helps pay for healthcare treatments, hospital staff, and care for elderly or vulnerable people in the community.
A vote to oppose means
- —Critics worry that it's another tax on working people and employers when they're already struggling with costs. Some argue the government should fund these services differently, without putting more financial pressure on ordinary workers.
