IMHO focussing on the NHS budget seems myopic. I haven't got the faintest clue about public health spending but there are so many things you can question like
- What is medical inflation compared to overall inflation?
- What do other countries spend?
- Are we getting value for money?
- Are key statistics getting worse despite increase budgets?
- How does population factor in to spending?
etc
- monoclechris 7y agoI am focusing the discussion on reality and facts. Everyone else can speculate as much as they want.
- twic 7y agoFact, singular. Taken in isolation from a context which could give it quite different meaning.
- monoclechris 7y agoIf someone makes a false statement, it is not unreasonable to dispute that claim.
- iso1631 7y agoYou are the only one making a false statement
- iso1631 7y ago> - What is medical inflation compared to overall inflation? In the G7, per year 1970-1980 13% 1980-1990 8% 1990-2000 5% 2000-2010 6% 2010-2018 4% > What do other countries spend? Far more than the UK > - Are we getting value for money? A notoriously difficult question with healthcare > - Are key statistics getting worse despite increase budgets? That depends on how you define the statistics, which is massively subjective > - How does population factor in to spending? Older populations lead to more health spending
