Time to privatise the NHS

Maybe a two tier system, the state NHS provides basic essential care for free, you pay for non essential treatments or extra facilities like private rooms. Some of the money from the latter could go to subsidise the former. Seems to work ok in Australia and France.bloggoth

INRAT...
Didn't a privatised hospital just close\move back to NHS as it couldn't make the figures work?
Also isn't the treatment you receive at a private hospital limited to the easier less complicated cases, so should be better provided?
I don't think privatisation is the answer, there are many tulip private organisations out there, what is needed is a proper look at it though.
BTW I really like the NHS, maybe I'm lucky in where I live.Comment

Trouble is I suspect a lot of the population just would never bother paying for the extras. I know if my Dad had £50million in the bank and told him it'd cost £20 for a private room or he'd get seen in 2 weeks rather than 12 months he still wouldnt pay.
Partly out of principle "why should I pay I paid taxes all my life" and partly "I can save £20 if I wait so why waste it".Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Using the NHS? You're all a bunch of spongers. A social program that you pay towards, yes, but how dare you use it when you need to, when you all earn as much as you do.
JSA is different. That's a social program you pay towards and can use if you're in need.Comment
