You guys are decades deep into an ideologically propelled plan to "Starve the beast" by denying the NHS funding so that care quality declines, and use that as justification to privatize the NHS entirely.
The starting salary for a first-year doctor is below the national median income, and for a nurse significantly below. Their inability to requisition funds & time for care is something there is repeated labor action about. The NHS budget is 5.9% of GDP versus the 17.3% of GDP that the US economy spends on healthcare or the 11.3% of GDP that the UK economy spends on healthcare overall.

Maybe more funding will fix it?
