There are plenty of inefficiences in the NHS, and anyone who has visited a hospital on a few occasions can see that. Huge paper files being carted about, hospitals in one area unable to communicate or access your papers from your surgery if it's in a different area, trolleys with nothing on them being pushed in one direction, then another, with no obvious purpose - the list is endless.
We can do better than this.

Because something has no visible obvious purpose doesn’t mean it has none, as a lay casual observer with no medical expertise, no knowledge of the job roles, no knowledge of the internal workings of a hospital would surely agree?
We can do better I’m sure, which brings us back to the 2 trillion of debt accumulated from 40 years of neo-liberal capitalist failure. We lose £40bn a year in interest payments alone. Roughly one third of NHS expenditure in England.
Politicians have to be honest. Pay a few extra pence in tax, pay $321 a month in private heath insurance. Those are the options.
