Following on from Gingerjedi's thread, about the Hospital program - it seems to me that the NHS cannot continue in its present form. The fact that healthcare is free means that many people are now abusing the system by not taking responsibility for their own health.
In any case Britain is the only country silly enough to have a central, monolithic health service managed by the state. We all know health care is better in our closest neighbours and they usually have some form of private-public partnership.
The NHS is now the 3rd largest employer in the world after Indian Railways and the Chinese army - a ridiciulous state of affairs for a medium sized country.
The NHS will be finally explode as demand can only grow, while the country is now close to bankrupt - but no politician has the guts to grasp the nettle.
