BBC WORKING FOR NHS
With the NHS in a critical condition, it is vital to find new ways of funding this most important of all services. The BBC is sitting there as unchartered territory, and can become a treasure chest for the NHS. My idea is simple: Let the BBC take advertisements and sponsorship across the board, with it written in stone that ALL profits must go to the NHS.
It does not have to be smash-in-the-face commercials as on the likes of ITV and Sky, but subtle programme sponsorship and informative and educational advertising. I am thinking, for example, The Great British Bake Off, brought to you by Mr Kipling. That will have harmed nobody's viewing and put thousands into the NHS pot to help with operations and fairer wages for nurses.
Why is this important?
The NHS will soon be on its knees. By having the BBC work for the NHS it will help boost the budget of the service that needs to be top of our preservation and improvement list.
I am deliberately making this is a brief note because the simple ideas are the best and I do not want to be watering it down by long-winded explanations. In short, get the BBC working for the NHS.
How it will be delivered
All according to response. A press conference at the BBC HQ would be fun :-)
