Well I can't disagree about the baleful effects of PFI, Vincent. The cost to the NHS down the years has been enormous. As with the schools academy system, New Labour forgot to be careful what it wished for. However, the point holds that the NHS has been neglected and appallingly funded under 12 years of Tory rule. Most users of the NHS are going to be influenced in their judgement by the upfront consequences they see: terrible waiting times in A&E, inability to get a GP appointment in anything like a timely way, years instead of a few weeks on waiting lists. And just pray that you'll never need an ambulance. It wasn't anything like that in 2010, as both my missus and I can abundantly attest (unfortunately).
