As it has in most developed economies.

Very possibly, but irrelevant to my point, which was to puncture all the "there's been no more money" rubbish, and the "cuts" rubbish. Except for the Healey years, there has always been more money.

Pity that your charts didn't show the Healey years. And indeed didn't show the expenditures.

Of course there has been more money though, in real terms, not recently. Do you understand why or do you need that explained?

One chart appears to shows expenditure per capita and the other expenditure relative to GDP. What expenditure figures is it you want and, rather than criticise the charts posted by TheTracker, had you possibly thought of producing some actual statistics yourself?

More to the point is do you really expect to have a health service of the standard of France or Germany but without paying more for it? Do you expect everything in life to be a free ride?

It's interesting why it's so often claimed that we have a health service that's the envy of the world. Doesn't really seem to tie in with the numbers or the realitywhen all the media is about problems.
