Glad I took out private health insurance a couple of months back. Hmmm. Maybe the private system will be logged as well with more people accessing it.
Not going to help much if you have an emergency. It's quite scary the volume of stories about people who never saw an ambulance arrive. You just kind of assume that if you call 999 help will arrive.
A few years ago, my wife had a serious condition requiring surgery, and we looked into going to a private hospital but we couldn't find one that was able to treat her.
Unfortunately, at the local NHS hospital, there wasn't even the option of paying for a private room. She was in a surgical ward which, due to a shortage of beds, ended up as a holding area for bed-blocking dementia patients. Some of them were awake in the middle of the night, wandering around the ward, stumbling into patients recovering from surgery. It was a nightmare but, on the plus side, it did have the effect of making my wife get well enough to come home PDQ.
I get the impression that for the really serious life-threatening tulip, the NHS is the only option.

Because contractors are money grabbing scum and as soon as one went on strike, another would step in and take the money.
