As whiskeryron points out, it is a matter of (collective) choice as to what type and quality of government health service is/becomes available. There is the matter of priorities, between cars, TVs, health, etc. as to where/how individuals spend their money. There is also the matter of where governments spend the public's money - for example, is it better spent on armaments and adventures in distant lands than on better organising the various systems (at the cost of investment in that effort/transition), including the health service, or should there be a rethink as to whether the UK should become rather less concentrated on its militarism ? Governments in the Western World are by definition service providers: The population demands a lot of their governments, they provide it and charge for it through taxation. If/when governments are there to serve the nation then it is the nation which is to make the choices, and in a democracy the nation chooses through elections.

Elections in the UK and elsewhere operate on a choice by the majority, which can (some months or a year or two later) be seen resulting in everybody being dissatisfied. Churchill was quoted as saying (effectively or actually) that democracy is a lousy form of government but it happens to be the best type we have. Democracy functions best when the public is truly well informed (i.e. actively explores the issues factually, including genuinely considering the merits of different/opposing views) and exercises its choice based on that. Quite apart from abstentions, there are reasons to doubt that everyone takes a well reasoned and balanced view of the choices.
The party that manages to take on the GP's and get them to work harder so patients don't inappropriately end up in already overcrowded and overstretched AAE Departments. Many GP surgeries are not open all the working day yet they moan they are overstretched.
Neither party has tackled the problem yet; someone needs to. Also the party that has the guts to remove child benefit would save the NHS billions which could be used to resource many other areas in the NHS.
I think Labour would be the best party to support the NHS.

From what I've seen over the past few years, with my parents needing a lot of support, it needs better use of the money it has. It is extremely inefficient and wasteful.
Someone or some people need to sort it all out.
