Interestingly enough, as a nation we are well down the list regarding how much we spend on mismanaging the NHS..
Published by Statista Research Department, Jul 26, 2022
Healthcare spending in the United Kingdom (UK) has gradually increased since 1997 when it amounted to 65 billion British pounds. By 2021, healthcare expenditure in the UK stood at to 276.6 billion British pounds. This was an increase of 19.1 billion British pounds on the previous year's healthcare spending.
Health expenditure in the UK compared to Europe
In 2019, the UK spent just over ten percent of its GDP on healthcare. In comparison to other European countries, this ranked the UK seventh in terms of health expenditure in 2019. Top of the list was Switzerland, which spent 12.1 percent of its’ GDP on healthcare in this year.
Performance of the NHS in the UK
The majority of surveyed individuals in the UK regard the NHS as a world class health service and remain happy with the high level of care provided by the organization. Although waiting times have been getting worse in the A&E department over the years. The NHS has been falling behind the target that 95 percent of patients should be seen within four hours of arrival. As a result, the primary reasons for dissatisfaction with the NHS among the public are the length of time required to get a GP or hospital appointment and the lack of staff.
So not too shabby amount wise, why is the service so slow? Privatisation?
Self serve web apps/kiosks. Most of my interactions are via the nhs app (no more 'lost' perscriptions") and econsult - I get an email with next steps from a medical professional.
Well person clinics in supermarket car parks. None invasive Scans, routine screening and blood tests taken by low level staff and sent to automated labs.
Planned use of highly qualified medical resources and better processes. Care assistants feed patients not Nurses etc.
All clear letters go out with if needed a phone call or a delegated to GP response rather face to face appointments. I recently did my colon cancer scan, I was delighted to receive a well constructed all clear letter well within the target time. I also thought I would prefer a prompt phone call to schedule a further test quickly rather than wait months for a follow up.

The energy scheme scaling back kinda makes sense. 2 year commitment spooked the markets, 6 months less so, they could extend after six months but having such a large upfront commitment for two years was unworkable especially when no one really new what it was going to cost in the first place.
As for the rest, it’s all ****ed!Originally posted by Stevie Wonder BoyI can't see any way to do it can you please advise?

2) electoral system is completely rigged
3) even if I won it would have made no difference
4) have a job that is actually useful for society such as running business that provides employment and tax revenues
etc
5) country of origin prejudicing any such activities for a 100 years
That’s from top of my head, pretty sure you can come up with 5 more…
