That was rather misleading. It all boils down to money and how it is allocated. The devolved Governments do not raise taxes and Westminster allocates funds. The Welsh Government can set different targets, and prioritise different treatments and drugs, but they are tied by what they receive from the treasury, which is increasingly, not enough.

I had an experience recently. My 97 year old Mother had chest pains on 27th December. A "First Response" person arrived, did Checks including heart trace and, although he said there was no indication of heart problems. My Mother has said over and over again that she did not want to go to hospital. She is n an "End of Life" plan, has DNR stickers everywhere but still the medic out pressure on her to go to hospital (to cover himself ). She spent 4 days in different wards (and a corridor at one time and the Discharge nurse was pressuring us to take her home. Her condition had deteriorated but I couldn't get anyone to assess her to be fit to return to her flat. She is now in a Care Home and being well looked after. It's costing £1,240 per week but well worth us paying for it.
well it might help if it wasn't swamped with sponging foreigners. More money may help in the short term but in reality it needs to stream line itself into a medical organisation rather than 15 layers of empire building management feathering their own nests with medical functions merely secondary activity.
I agree with Ummmm. Some people do go to their GP/A&E unnecessarily. Still, hopefully some of the pressure will be off once the NHS gets its act together and starts charging those not entitled to use the NHS up front.

Problems with the NHS stem from people like you Mickey wh use it as a political football.
You have been told many times it needs top to bottom reform but still you wont accept it ny any changes you lable as 'a step to privatisation' or the other jibe you used above.
Money will not help the NHS anything added simply disappears usually into more managers not front line staff. For proof of this just look what happened when Mr Brown injected some cash.
It has been finally broken by swarms of foreigners using using a system that was not designed for the numbers. Couple this with an empire building Management and far too many old people bed blocking hospital beds instead of being in an appropriate nursing facility. Other factors are the cosmetic operations given and the number of interpreters hired at £400 a pop.
Without full reform the NHS will cease to be and at this rate within the next 10 years. There is not one single thing that can be changed that will fix it. Although some issues are larger than others, there are also many small things that add up to a massive problem.
