I disagree. I think this is an urban myth.

According to the Office for National Statistics, the proportion of managers in the UK workforce as a whole in June 2010 was 15.4 per cent. These statistics also show that there were 77,000 hospital and health service managers across the United Kingdom, or 4.8 per cent of the NHS workforce. In other words, the NHS has a managerial workforce that is one-third the size of that across the economy as a whole.

£5/month will make zero difference.

We need to move away from the sacred cow of 'free at the point of use'.

A nominal £5 or £10 charge per hospital or GP visit would not only increase funds for the NHS but also cut down on folks clogging up GP waiting areas with sore throats and verrucas

What ever happened to the £50m a day that Boris and his mate Nigel promised us now that we are "free of Europe"?

Health tourists, people may say won't make a difference but it will. (Every penny helps)


I wouldn't mind paying more NI if I knew it was going on the likes of the NHS, charging for ambulances/care for drunk people on a weekend would save time and cover some costs go to a sort of holiday such as zante/Ibiza where it's private doctors that charge for drunks to be seen too.

I was simply pointing out a fact, you honestly didn't believe all of what either side of the brexit campaign said did you??
