I think I put 'ineffecient' in parentheses, because it's something people love to say all the time, but it's not actually true. I agree it's exceptionally efficient, but the system is currently failing (leading to maddening inefficiencies such as delayed discharge) due to the political choice to starve the NHS and social care of money. The other maddening misconception is that there are too many managers. I think it's something like 1/3rd of the number of managers in the NHS compared to private companies. The problem is more the calibre of managers, but hey-ho!

I know you mean well, but the NHS is exceptionally efficient.
(also disagree that dismantling the NHS is a widely held Tory belief)
