Long-term NHS plan: Does the UK health service provide value for money? The government produced a “long-term plan” for the National Health Service on Monday.
This is designed to outline how the £20bn a year funding boost by 2023-24, announced last year, will be spent.
Labour, unions and various health group say the plan is underfunded and will not fill widening staffing gaps.
The Institute of Economic Affairs, on the other hand, complains that the plan does not allow for greater “competition” or “patient choice” and argues that ministers have refused to heed the lessons from superior and more efficient European health insurance systems.
So just how does the NHS compare to other countries’ health systems when it comes to value for money? Should we be learning from abroad? The Independent
