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.
You are re-writing history if you are trying to deny now the mess that Labour left behind when they lost power, and you are ascibing views to me and others that we do not have.

As far as the NHS is concerned, I would remind you that the Conservatives stripped a huge layer of management out of the NHS after they came to power in 2010 and nobody seems to have noticed! We have a way to go yet. Problems are not resolved just by throwing money at them and the measure of a well-run service is not how heavily they are sponsored by the State.
