I think the number of elderly and ageing poeple in Britain in the next 25 years will make it nigh on impossible for the NHS to be able to afford all the drugs it would need to supply to meet these peoples needs.

The NHS cannot meet the demands of a fitter longer living elderly class going forward in the next few decades.

It's no one's fault it is just a fact of simple economics, more people are living longer and as such they require various drugs to treat all the various ailments one encounters as one ages.

This is a ticking timebomb of a problem and has been hushed up by successive Govt's BUT it will not go away. A bit like pensions there is not enough money coming in pure and simple.

We will all have to start paying for more for our healthcare in fact the NHS in it's present form is probably unworkable. I fear big changes are around the corner.
