Not sure how Worcestershire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust would be affected by the influx and not back in 2005.

So chucking money at it didn't solve it,

Because that money was spent badly.

I remember all the hype about the large salary increases for nurses, enhanced contracts for GPs and so on where money was been thrown down the drain. Also that the extra money new labour provided was actually not enough anyway.

NHS spending has gone up by nearly 80% in 12 years - the population of the U.K. has increased by around 10% in the same time period.

Managers and senior managers accounted for 2.35 per cent of the 1.318 million staff employed by HCHS and GP services across the NHS in 2015.

The 80% doesnt mean its not underfunded. Also thats a central figure, often central figures hide regional problems. e.g. similar to the claims like immigration has no affect on availability of social housing, it doesnt when looking at nationwide stats, but does when looking at regional stats.

Finally my comments on budget increases are concentrating on the increases since labour lost power when the policy changed to "match inflation".

You picked your stats I pick mine.

The UK had 2.8 physicians per 1,000 people in 2013, compared to 4.1 in Germany, 3.9 in Italy, 3.8 in Spain, 3.4 in Australia, 3.3 in France, 2.8 in New Zealand and 2.6 in Canada.
The UK had 2.8 hospital beds per 1,000 people in 2013, compared to 8.3 in Germany, 6.3 in France, 3.1 in Denmark, 3.0 in Spain and 2.8 in New Zealand.
Average length of stay for all causes in the UK was 7.0 days in 2013. This compares to 17.2 in Japan, 9.1 in Germany, 7.7 in Italy, 7.6 in New Zealand, 6.6 in Spain and 5.6 in France.
