Performance of the National Health Service

Public health measures are more important than medical care for improving the health of the population. But the performance of the NHS is important to individuals who need treatment. The fact that treatment is free protects people who have few resources from worrying about the need to find money at a point when they are particularly vulnerable. It is important politically. If people who can afford to pay for private treatment lose confidence in the NHS and opt out then we may all suffer.
