General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

The Whupsonian view of the NHS ignores the general financial situation in the U.K. and the exponential growth in demand for NHS care.
Despite the 'savage' cuts in public spending it has grown annually since the coalition government came to power.
Overall public spending in 2010 was £673 billion, this year it will be £762 billion. Per capita it has grown from £10822 to £11764 over the same period. Given that there's still a substantial current deficit extra cash for the NHS will not be an easy option.
To put the NHS back on a firmer footing requires full political support for the strategic vision of the boss of NHS England, Simon Stevens.
