Correction: BY OTHER TAXPAYERS!!! The state doesn't earn a paycheck from which to donate taxes.
“The fact that the system is tax-funded and so centralised has led to something which is totally dysfunctional and increasingly unsustainable.
“Such a system will always be inefficient and will never deliver the care people aspire to.”
Maurice Slevin, a leading cancer expert and founder of the Doctors for Reform campaign group, said: “The fact is the current system isn’t working. The cost has more than doubled in real terms.
“The only thing that has improved is waiting times have reduced but everything else has got worse.
“We’ve paid for a Bentley and got a clapped out Mini. We have a large nationalised system with no mechanism to provide incentives to do things in a cost-effective, efficient manner.”
Democrats have a ‘plan’, and this is their model.
