unfeasibly large amount of reorganisation to remove staff and buerocracy
So, efficiency improvements :)
polarbear-
Not wanting to get stuck on semantics, but you characterised the NHS as
inefficient public services
A couple of anecdotes saying their are areas for efficiency improvements isn't quite the same. As others have pointing out compared to others our health system is more efficient.
Given the amount of spend of staff and their feed-in back into the economy, I'd say there's also an argument that any staff cuts you could make would have limited net savings.

My anecdotal 2p is the same - Dr. who also doesn't believe much more money is needed, just an unfeasibly large amount of reorganisation to remove staff and buerocracy.
From reading up on it I think the US would benefit from a move to a Swiss model. The problem is health care is now basically a fiscal stimulus akin to burrying jars of money.
