2021 and 2020 were inflated by the pandemic.
1997 to 2019 is an increase of about 3.5x
CPI over this period was about 80% but large % of NHS costs are salaries so would be expected to run ahead of CPI by at least 1%.
Net of all this funding has gone up by say 50%-100%
But over this period the UK has had a very large increase in the elderly population who are disproportionate users of the NHS (over 85s up by about 80% roughly I think).
Having had quite a bit of contact with the NHS over the last few years I’ve seen much less form filling than I’d probably have expected.
And of course that form filling for the nurse is also known as data collection / management information which in any other context would be deemed essential for proper management of the service.
