    that mainly inflation.

    £100 in 1970 is the equivalent of £360.74 in 1980.

      Really?

      The damage is done by the bloody Public Health Act 2012 , decentralising, losing economies of scale and generally just trying to get the private sector into every nook and cranny it can. Seriously , with "approved suppliers" toilet rolls CAN cost 60p each.

        Shhh, don't spoil it for Vetty, he thinks the Tories are the bees knees, and all the ills of the NHS are causes by the Marxists and Unions

          No, it won't. More sticking plaster will be applied - more money thrown at the problem.

                    The trouble with cheap shots is the hangover the next day. Conversely, you don't want to do shots of the good stuff as it's wasteful.
