UK Prime Minister David Cameron warned that if the British voters chose to leave the EU on the June 23 referendum, pennons and the National Healthcare System (NHS) would suffer cuts, newspaper ‘Observer’ reports.

Cameron is trying to sway the most ardent ‘Brexit’ supporters at a time in the campaign when polls show the public is divided on whether the country should stay or leave the European Union. Polls also indicate that senior voters will most likely go to the ballots and they represent the more Euro skeptic side of the electorate.

Cameron said a number of benefits like free cable TV subscriptions, annual rises in pensions and senior citizen transport passes would be slashed in an effort to cover the ‘black hole’ caused in the state budget. ‘We might be forced to cut different things that people really appreciate’, said the British PM. The ‘Brexit’ campaign declined Reuter’s request to comment on Cameron’s comments. The ‘Brexit’ camp has repeatedly platformed the idea that the money channeled to the EU by Britain could be used to partially fund the NHS.
