Can the NHS be saved? And does it matter?
In this episode, Ken Ferguson delves into the complexities and challenges facing the NHS, questioning the moral implications of its current structure and exploring potential reforms. He argues that the NHS, while a noble idea, suffers from inefficiencies due to its lack of market forces and competition. Ferguson discusses the demographic pressures on the system and proposes a series of reforms aimed at improving patient care and system sustainability. Takeaways The perception of communitarianism as morally superior to individualism is prevalent. The NHS is often viewed as a state-run monopoly with inherent inefficiencies. Patients do not face direct costs, leading to overuse of services. Chronic underinvestment and political meddling plague the NHS. The UK has fewer healthcare resources compared to OECD averages.
