This was from the speech today
Ministers are making big play of the extra funding, but experts within the health service have warned even with the above-inflation sums going in, it will take years to turn the NHS around and get it back to where it was a decade ago in terms of waiting times and performance - perhaps even a decade.
What I don’t understand is if more and more money has been given to the NHS each year why its having these problems. If the money equals inflation it can only mean a demand for services. Diabetes and overweight? Elderly longer living? Higher population or all three? At what point do you have to stop and simply say that’s it? As a point if I was asked to pay some more tax for it to into the NHS I absolutely would. After seeing the JOE video to guess prices in the USA I realised I had been taking the NHS for granted.
