It's not based on one visit to A and E , and its rather presumptuous of you to say that ,there is a broader view to consider from GP attendances, adminstering of certain prescriptions, cosmetic surgeries,
overall efficiencies of the service , the 100 of millions due to health tourism , people who abuse certain aspects of the NHS to the detriment of those who need real care.

Bigger picture than jumping on the same old (yawn ) political point scoring bandwagon , that motivates most of these debates ,its not about caring for dear old NHS , its about bashing the bad old Tories with the same debate over and over again (yawn ).
