Again, the NHS is at a breaking point, having postponed all non-urgent operations to cope with the "winter crisis".


I'd agree that taxes should be raised, if that is what is needed. It would also make sense if the government's income from sales tax on certain health damaging products was earmarked for the NHS.


Here's from an opinion piece by Ravi Jayaram who is an NHS consultant paediatrician:

Harsh words, but yes, I suppose it's either incompetence or else it must be deliberate.
