The NHS has more spent on it now than at any time in the past; ten times what was spent on it sixty years ago. when 11% of the public services budget spent on it. That figure is now almost 30%. The fact that the population is ageing seems to have come as a bit of a shock to both the government and the NHS. In my opinion, the NHS would be more cost-effective if they managed the money better. It's run like every other public service but if it was run like a business, that might be different. And furthermore, NHS priorities are shot when they're denying cancer treatment but funding breast augmentation, sex changes and IVF, while the world is struggling with the beginning effects of overpopulation.
