Increases to Employers National Insurance Contributions and the NHS, Suppliers and Healthcare Charities

Raising Employer NICs in the Commons

In the House on Tuesday, I said that: it is worrying that, three weeks after the Budget, the Secretary of State still does not know, or will not tell the House, how much the increases to employer National Insurance will cost the NHS.

This policy will also affect suppliers, contractors and charities includes Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, who will now need to find this extra money from their fundraising costs. The government must look again at this counter-productive tax.
