What is the point of pouring more money into a black hole, the NHS will always suck up all any money that it gets. What needs to happen is that we need a review of where the money goes, no more money spent on non medical and cosmetic operations. When all the hip/knee replacements etc have been done and there is still money in the pot we can look at other areas. How much is spent by the NHS on legal costs after being sued? When I was at the periphery of this "Industry" it was into several millions, possibly hundreds of millions.
Just possible if we stopped this huge abuse of the money spent by the NHS we could afford to fill the hole or defend our vital interests. I am a huge fan of the NHS but it needs to refocus on its basic reason to exist.
