, with students receiving a £5,000-£8,000 annual maintenance grant every year during their course to help with their cost of living .
In terms of mental health, Labour say they will provide an additional £1.6 billion a year to ensure new standards for mental health are enshrined in the NHS constitution ensuring access to treatments is on a par with that for physical health conditions. They also promise to put mental health on a par with physical health and to reform the Health and Social Care Act as recommended by the NHS, to make the NHS work in a more efficient and joined-up way, and to end the automatic tendering of services.In their manifesto, the Green Party pledge to increase funding for the NHS by at least £6 billion per year each year, until 2030 , and a further £1 billion a year in nursing higher education, allowing for nursing bursaries to be reinstated.
According to their manifesto, the Green New Deal will get the UK on track to reducing climate emissions to net zero by 2030 by: meeting most of our energy needs through the domestic production of renewable energy; reducing our overall energy demand from buildings and homes, and transforming UK industry, transport and land use.
They also promise to introduce a windfall tax on oil companies, so that the companies that knowingly damaged our climate will help cover the costs. The Liberal Democrats also pledge to establish a Department for Climate Change and Natural Resources, appoint a cabinet-level chief secretary for sustainability in the treasury to coordinate government-wide action to make the economy sustainable, resource-efficient and zero-carbon, and require every government agency to account for its contribution towards meeting climate targets.
They also promise to “invest £100 billion in additional infrastructure spending – on roads, rail and other responsible, productive investment which will repair and refurbish the fabric of our country and generate greater growth in the long run. For example, flood defences will receive £4 billion in new funding.”
The manifesto also sketches out a £3 billion portfolio of projects, including renewables, waste and construction, ready for green finance investment, including new woodland creation, working towards a target of 60 million trees planted annually in the UK by 2025, with 30 million of these in Scotland to help tackle the Climate Emergency and to support biodiversity and rural employment.Like many of the main parties, Plaid Cymru are proposing a Green New Deal.
