how much is spent on Health Care abroad, is no doubt an indication that they probably invest in technology, which improves care and efficiency, and also shows they give a **** about their own people..
The biggest threat to the NHS budgets is actually cost cutting services elsewhere, such as mental health, adult care, nursing home care, disabled care, home help etc etc. Everytime this governmant slashes local government financing by 30%, guess what gets hit???? And as there is no-wjhere else to go, the Hospitals end up picking up the pieces and meeting the budget cuts from their budgets. Sp forget all this Tory pidgeon-poop about increasing spending on the NHS (though not in-line with inflation or rising demand from an ageing population) in reality their budgets are being hit hard via the backdoor.
Oh I almost forgot the most important bit, when the NHS is finally broken by the perfect storm of too much demand and not enough money, guess who will use that as an excuse to use private medical care suppliers who will in fact cost us more money, at least 20% more becuase that is what shareholders expect as a return on their money, minimum bad day explode
