why does great ormond street hospital have to rely on apeals to raise money, should get more help from gov?

Answer 1

Er... how much have I paid in over my lifetime in the form of National Insurance Contributions? I shall say no more ! ! !

Answer 2

Why pick on Great Ormond Street hospital? There are hundreds of deserving charities. Cancer Research, British Heart Foundation. The list is endless. In my view they should all be funded by the Government and there should be no such thing as charity. Try telling the electorate that tax will go up to pay for them! As to giving aid to third world countries, that would be the right and proper thing to do. The wealthiest countries should be only to willing to help the poorest. The twelve richest countries known as the G12 meet and pledge aid, then forget to pay it or give aid in the form of a loan to be repaid with interest.

Answer 3

I don't think they rely on appeals to stay open as a hospital, however the appeals, the money raised and what they spend it on is what makes it one of the best childrens hospitals in the world.

Answer 4

Of course, as should a lot of other brilliant organisations, such as Air Ambulances!

Answer 5

I thought children in needs 34million they collected last year would of helped a little,,,,,

Answer 6

yeah i think they do need more money from the GOV, but if you can raise funds to gaim more money then why not.
