In your reply Cayton you said if the Tories threw a decent amount of money at the NHS would be an example of trying to solve a difficult problem with a simple solution .

These days although I'm busy in the garden whilst on furlough it does give you the opportunity to think and reflect a little .

Certainly more time to do it than the cut and thrust of working life .

How's about everyone in the political arena stops pyssing around and starts to become honest on this topic .

Tories refrain from privatisation solves everything and Labour stop defending sometimes the indefensible with the NHS because they brought it in to existence .

How's about we go 50/50 on this and keep it on a not for profit basis but also kick in an NHS tax , not to cover the entire cost but to substantially help it along .

Give it some kind of accountability to the public instead of the vague general taxation .

On top of that if you smoke , take drugs , drink heavily or are obese there's a surcharge to pay if your admittance to the NHS can be proved to be caused by the above .

Why the feck should people who look after themselves pay for those who don't ? .

I'm someone who smoked up until I had two stents having to be put in to my main artery , if the NHS billed me £500 for the procedure I'm at a loss to defend it .

I haven't the answers I'm simply opening up a debate because just throwing tax payers money at it isn't the full story .
