But we haven't so far managed that, & this particular govt appears more interested in the well being of their well off donors than anything else.
Money can be made from sick people (never mind the quality of treatment) & from education (never mind the quality of learning) & from all sorts of other things - which is clearly all that matters to this lot.
Not to mention the billions wasted on covid, imagine what the money could have done if invested into the health system?
Labour spent billions post covid too with nothing to show for it either.
yes Isaw first hand the deplorable state of hospital chronic staff shortage , waited in emergency room after being delivered by amblance after a stroke for 14 hours before being admitted 5 hours for first exam nby nurse second tests 4hours laterthen doc exam 3 hours later & finally a bed2 hours later . Labour poured mills$ up into splitting the system7 employing more management instead of at the coalface for more staff & beds
