For every £1 the UK spends on healthcare, France spends about £1.26 and Germany, £1.55 per person. Over the whole system that's tens of billions of pounds, let's not blame everything on the NHS when it isn't getting close to the funding of the other two major powers in the EU.

Yes and America spends the most but you wouldn’t want there health care system. The nhs is the biggest sole employer in Europe but only 53.2% of those are front line workers, the rest bureaucratic nonsense. They get enough but it’s wasted.

There's no question that it could be run better but let's not pretend that the NHS is unique in how much is spent on it when it's not even receiving any more funding than the other top nations of the EU.
