What's wrong with the NHS, and how do we fix it?
Last year spending on health and social care in the UK hit nearly £200bn. That’s roughly a fifth of total government spending. Yet the perception has been that things have got worse.
Have they? If so, how much worse? How do we compare with other similar countries? And what might we do differently?
Joining David Aaronovitch in the briefing room are:
Siva Anandaciva, Chief Analyst at the King’s Fund
Professor Carol Propper, health economist at Imperial College
Mark Pearson, Deputy Director of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs at the OECD
Dr Jennifer Dixon, Chief Executive at The Health Foundation
Producers: Octavia Woodward, Kirsteen Knight and Ben Carter
Editor: Richard Vadon
Studio manager: Neil Churchill
Production co-ordinators: Siobhan Reed & Sophie Hill
