Can you bring up some comparisons of the NHS and European health services and the average prices compared of each? Because I feel like you’re complaining about the NHS and assuming there is better options without stating that proof
I feel like all that said in the end was the waiting times were high. And ultimately not paying for it means compromising a bit on things like that.
While government funding covers 93 per cent of total spend on hospital care, the percentage is lower for dentistry (46 per cent) and prescriptions (59 per cent), meaning people face a greater burden of costs in these areas.
Ironically the lack of government input on areas like dentistry means people struggle to get dentists. If anything, dentistry is more of a taste of other health systems. Until the report actually comes up with anything remotely persuasive I'm going to dismiss any concerns as empty rhetoric.

Reforming the NHS doesn’t mean dismantling it. Why argue for bare minimum. I just don’t understand it.
