    One more reason to leave the EU

    So they don't compare the state of our hospitals to the rest of Europe:
    Britain's hospital bed crisis is second worst in Europe | Mail Online
    <Insert idea here> will never be adopted because the politicians are in the pockets of the banks!

    Quite. As someone who earns a crust in Health Economics, I can tell you the situation with the NHS is more dire than most people know.
    And it's interesting that the same morons who spout about EU red tape, but couldn't give me any single example of how it affects me as a small business, are the first to say "Save our [socialist red-tape ridden inefficient] NHS", the institution which will lead to national bankruptcy if carried on as it is.
    You can't overestimate people's stupidity.
    Hard Brexit now!

      Sounds like a good reason to stay in the EU.

      Seems to me that the biggest problem in the NHS is too many administrators and bureaucrats. Worse still if they just go round calling everyone a cretin without adding anything.

      Who will rid us of these leeches?

        The other way of looking at it is that the German system, with 3x as many beds per capita, is shockingly wasteful. The NHS is under resourced though, there is no doubt about that. It needs real reform by experts, not political meddling.

        They need to look at the number of doctors and nurses per head as well, that's one of the best indicators of outcomes AFAIK.

          Labour did borrow billions and threw it at the NHS but the clueless muppets running the NHS thought it was for them and so just used the billions to pay themselves inflated wages and pensions. New hospitals were built using PPI, god only knows why. The way Labour ran NHS is scandalous.

            It makes my heart swell with pride when I go abroad and register the look of awe in people's faces when I tell them that I come from a country where health care is free at the point of use for everyone.

            And I won't hear a bad word said about it. Shame on the lot of you.

                Yes, shame on anybody who criticizes a government run organisation paid for out of their taxes!
                And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

                  Actually, it was a parody of Mr Gittins old man.

                  An Express reader to the core but get him on the subject of the NHS and he puffs out his chest and gets all dewy eyed.

                  And there are a lot of people just like him so you can imagine how any kind of radical reform is going to be an uphill struggle.
