Or its incredibly badly run. Seems that everyone is happy to give the NHS a pass on scrutiny and efficiency and just say "we need more money". As a single funded organisation that derives its cash from the political party of the day it will always have those in opposition crying about money and ignoring efficiency and vice versa

It's both badly run and under-funded. UK health services are dangerously understaffed because of poor pay and working conditions, no matter how hard people want to pretend that's not the case.
