  • 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'.

  • They are pretty good if you break a leg or pop a sprog or something.

    The GP system is a mess though.

  • Obviously it's the most extreme eg but try paying out US levels of "private" health insurance for an average level of service, then come back and complain.

    The extra waiting time for a GP appointment is eaten up by the lobby waiting times, arguing, double checking your bill and cross referencing everything with your insurances hit and miss overseas call centre.

    Edit: lolz at $2,000 p/a - can't imagine what sort of 3rd world policy that buys.

  • Fotunately the 'herd immunity' afforded by free NHS vaccination policies extends as far as ingrates.

  • But one day you will, most probably in the last 6 months of your life.

    Look upon it as a long term investment.
