    Do try sometime talking to health care professionals in the EU about our wonderful NHS.
    If you turned up at A&E in Holland and it was neither they'd tell you to sod of and see your GP (who would not have a queue as your insurance, even for benefit claimants would not cover the first 300€).
    Meanwhile in Dover there's a councillor who insists his wife gets aspirin on prescription at God knows what cost as 'she's paid her taxes'.
    The NHS needs total reform.


    Perhaps you ought to read...
    Though NHS funding is continuing to grow, the rate of growth is slowing considerably compared to historical trends. The Department of Health budget will grow by 1.1 per cent in real terms between 2009/10 and 2020/21. This is far below the long-term average increases in health spending of approximately 4 per cent a year (in real terms) since the NHS was established.

    Looking ahead, between 2017/18 and 2019/20 the Department of Health budget will increase by just 0.6 per cent on average each year in real terms. This will place increasing pressure on the NHS, as demand for services is continuing to grow .     Source: https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/projects/nhs-in-a-nutshell/nhs-budget

    I'm all for efficiency. I am NOT for austerity disguised as bona-fide efficiency savings.
