The Cure.
This is what worries me. We all appreciate having a health service free at the point of delivery, but it is inefficient and often provides unsatisfactory service. It needs a fundamental overhaul, and if the private sector can help by making things work better, we should not shrink from going down that route. As long as it continues to be 'free', why should it matter who provides the service?

I hope Boris sets up a Royal Commission to look into the integration of health and social care and to recommend ways of ensuring these services are brought up to the standard we expect as efficiently as possible.
