No more money?

Yet another "NHS crisis" - we seem to stagger from one to the next.  We've talked about this before - the NHS is a financial black hole.  However much money you give it, it will never be enough.  As the overall health of the nation improves, so we expect more from our health service.  And then, we are living longer with all the health implications which go with that.  I've said it before - I think we need to decide just how much money we are prepared to give the NHS, just what they can provide with that money, and we have to accept that that is all we can expect unless we are prepared to take out private insurance to cover anything extra.  Not easy - not easy at all, but the much-vaunted "free at the point of delivery" mantra cannot disguise the fact that the NHS costs, and costs massively.  I think sometimes that tends to be forgotten.
