This is an interesting link https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/project...nding-compared

The UK spends a smaller proportion of its GDP on health care than countries such as Portugal, France and the Netherlands. It spends a larger proportion than countries such as Spain, Finland and Ireland. This data includes private spending on health care, which in the United Kingdom is only 1.5 per cent.

The predicted budget for the NHS in 2020/21 will of gone up by £35 billion since 2009/10 but £24 billion of that will have been swallowed up by inflation. The real increase is £11 billion which is actually very little when you consider population growth and higher budgetary taxation.
