In fact longevity is reversing slightly. Defending the NHS is indefensible. Too much demand, too little supply, too little funding, too expensive equipment and drugs. If anyone who can afford private insurance decides not to purchase it, well..........................

these over worked dr,s,surgeons etc always find time for a spot of moonlighting in the private sector,

I think you will find that when they are not carving their initials on their patients livers, most are doing private work OUTSIDE their NHS hours.

It wouldn't hurt things much if consultants could do an occasional 40 hour week.
They earn enough from us.

There's a difference between living longer and being kept alive longer !

Old people used to be looked after by their families,now the families expect care allowances when they often visit the person in need at most once a week or get a disability car to take the person in need to occasional hospital appointments. The car is used by nieces or nephews and 'lives' elsewhere.Far too much money is wasted in the NHS but whenever anyone attacks waste they are howled down.
