And this inertia seemed to quash innovation, organisation, willingness to change. And the whole thing seems to rub off onto patients' attitude to medical care. Add to this the nanny state overbearing role of governments running our day to day lives and it's a recipe for disaster.
That reads like a libertarian approach to the NHS

I think it's demand that will be it's demise , not what it offers in terms of service which is very good on the whole

You can privatise health care in the UK and it would still struggle once it got to tipping point , which is where it is now

Unless we stop people having children this is the way it is
