The NHS at 75

On it's 75th birthday the NHS is in full-crisis mode; People are facing year-long waiting lists, patients in corridors for hours unable to get treatments or scans, and the dreaded 8am scramble for the GP, all tell-tale signs of huge problems that currently there appears to be no fix for. The former Prime Minister Tony Blair has called for further private sector involvement, the government have said things will get worse before getting better, and the Labour party blame the Conservative's for 13 years of mismanagement. But how can we fix it? What can we do to ensure the NHS is here for another 75 years? The Chair of the BMA Professor Phillip Banfield and Shadow International Trade Secretary Nick Thomas-Symonds joins the programme.
