With private healthcare is the only difference getting into an operation earlier than you would on the NHS?

The trouble is that the NHS does not offer consistent good healthcare - it very much depends where in the UK you live. My brother unfortunately was the recipient of negligent, incompetent healthcare consisting of misdiagnosis and protracted delays for hospital appointments which resulted in his cancer being so far advanced that it was inoperable and terminal within two months of eventual diagnosis. Anyone in their right mind who could afford it would choose private healthcare over the shambles that is the NHS.
