Maybe so, but all you ever hear/see in the news is about how the NHS are blowing money on this and that, and how test scores are low, etc.

I thought, when you raise taxes, that services such as hospitals and schools are meant to improve
Test scores kept improving in the past few years, so they made the tests harder

Yet do we here on the news how Bill richards (Made Up) was cured from cancer? The media tends to focus, usually, on the worst sides of the NHS, not the amount of times it has helped people.

And who says school arent improving? Just look back 50 years.

But surely, for the amount of taxes that we pay, that there shouldn't be any bad side to the NHS?

A lot of the money pays for operations

If we lived in America, we would have to pay for out Healthcare, Operations that cost thousands dont need to be paid to save a life

I accept that the NHS aren't superheroes, but I read stories like this this and this, and I can't help but think that they could be putting their money to better use?

Why should the NHS pay someone £119 an hour to sort out its financial problems when they could be using that money to clean hospital wards or buy new equipment?

I admit 119 pound (Keyboard messed up) is alot, but then, that 119 pounc could sort out the finacil issues for the future.

But why the hell does someone deserve £119 an HOUR to work out the NHS' financial problems?

With all the money they get they shouldn't have that many to work out, surely?

Oh no, I forgot why they have financial problems - they hire more and more people to do pointless jobs and pay them over the top salaries to do so!

Strongly disagree. Nurses are on one of the poorest wages you can get for a trained profession. Most get paid around £19,000 with a high up nurse being paid £25,000.

I know you are on about £119/hour but I'm on about general over staffing and underpayments.

I said pointless jobs, not nurses

So why not get rid of those who have pointless jobs like sorting out financial problems, or reduce the huge salaries these people get?
