  • Yes, inefficient. Last time I tried to get an appointment with an NHS doctor, they gave me one the following week during working hours. Instead, I paid £85 for a private doctor and was in and out of there with antibiotics in 5 minutes.

  • I don’t think you understand what efficiency is and if I understand you correctly you solved the problem by throwing money at it (equivalent wage of £1020/hr) and hiring another doctor.

  • I've spent far more than £85 in taxes on the NHS, but receive no useful service. Maybe inefficient was the wrong word - I should have used 'useless'.
