With billions being spent on it every year, if it really is as you say "running into the ground" then we have a serious problem.

No amount of money is going to fix this, perhaps it's finally time to admit that this wonderful, lovable envy of the world healthcare system is on its last legs unable to cope due to years of mis-management with vast areas under funded whilst some areas are over funded and over mangaged.

It is too big, too old and needs to be put out of its misery. If it were a dog we could take it round to the back of the shed and give it both barrels.

But sadly we are stuck with this behemoth that literally sucks our taxes into a black hole.

We need to think now of ways to spread the burden of healthcare across all sectors, encourage people to take out personal private health cover like in many Countries. Our livestyles can then count towards our premiums as can our amount of usage.

Hospitals can be sold off or demolished and private enterprise brought in to help with a new massive building program of new Hospitals and Medical centres, A&E centres.

Free Healthcare for all sounds great and was needed 60 years ago, but the World has moved on since then and trying to cling onto an aging decrepid giant like this does no one any favours.

The NHS needs to go and it needs to go sooner rather than later.

The government are running it into the ground because they hate anything nationalised and they have their fat fingers poised over the pie.
I hope you realise the ramification of the demise of the NHS, I think it would be a return to Victorian England.
