They need to spin out how the NHS funds itself into an independent body like the BBC Trust (BBC Board these days). The NHS should be able to set a budget and levy taxes accordingly in order to meet some key targets it sets itself. The union should be part of this too.
These taxes should show up as a health levy on people's paycheques like they do in British Columbia.
This body should be responsible for education, recruiting and staffing be it via universities or immigration.
- danw1979 4y agoThis is a great idea, so long as the same body has the power to decide how the NHS is structured and managed too, free from central government interference. Accountability seems totally absent anyway, so let them just get on with it. The Conservative government are deliberately running it into the ground and only true independence in terms of funding and management would be enough to isolate it from further sabotage.

Not sure how the the board would be chosen mind, elections along the lines of PFCC? If ministers were involved it would probably devolve into the status-quo.
