Imagine a company that keeps asking its shareholders for more money to modernise its business in order to make it competitive, yet at the same time did not change its working practices, its marketing or how it competed in the economic environment. Eventually the shareholders would say enough is enough and would invest their money in an alternative venture.

Can we use this as an analogy to what is happening with the NHS? I would say yes, except for the fact that we cannot stop funding the NHS as it provides healthcare to our nation, and there is no alternative. However, should we be giving it the extra £20 billion by 2023 as a 70th ‘birthday present’, announced by Prime Minister Theresa May without demanding widespread change.
