Healthcare funding
Source: Dave Jackson
The UK government is the 15th-18th in the world for spending on healthcare per citizen (depending on the figures you use). What do we expect? You get what you pay for and the NHS is cheap!
The governments of the USA, Germany, Sweden and France all spend moreper citizen than we do. The government wants to know what we should copy from these countries? How about increasing expenditure to US government levels (i.e. the amount excluding private expenditure by US citizens), which would increase the NHS budgets by over 40% per citizen.
