But the NHS cannot continue as is, that is certain. Any party that promised to me all that they would do is throw more money at it wont get my vote.

The NHS probably does need more money though. Ageing population and ever-developing new treatments can help. It's not like its funding is especially high compared to other European nations who'll also face these problems.

We're about average.
Reform could well be needed but the funding question will remain.
