so its adjusted for inflation... I dunno how they got by on whatever 25bn was back then

Would be interesting to see how that breaks down in terms of per capita

imagine if it was still 25bn (so it just grew with inflation)

I agree. More than likely fear porn on some fronts from those elected to present “facts” to the people

You can throw money at the NHS doesn’t mean it’s going to be more functioning

Tories have mismanaged it like they’ve mismanaged education

pick up a paper from any decade in the last 50 years and youll see "nhs in crisis"

Yea cause when it’s in a bad situation, making it even worse is a good thing

and yet the US commonwealth produces an aggregate report every year and the NHS has been ranked best in the world for at least the last 20 years

They aren’t global rankings

https://slideplayer.com/slide/6163/1/images/9/Commonwealth+Fund+Overall+Ranking+2007.jpg

That’s best out of that selection of countries

It’s not comparing with Scandinavia, japan, Singapore etc

scandanavian countries are checked

They are not there

I’m reading it now

sweden

norway

In one of those charts

Most are just commonwealth

And regardless none of them are a global ranking

So “best in the world” is false

Scandinavia isnt a good representation for any system imo

and one of them has us 10th in health care outcomes

But 1st in admin?

One of them is clearly more important than the other

they all have worst health...

its not worst health care

its worst health of the people

Your charts show that we do well compared to commonwealth countries

as in people eat shit and dont take care of themselves

And one chart which has Sweden and Norway and Switzerland

You should read that article

The most important metric is where we are worst

However, on outcomes the NHS still lags behind. Too many people die where appropriate medical care could save them and survival rates for eight of the 12 the most lethal diseases are poor, though improving for stroke and cancer.
