While accurate data is hard to assemble, it now looks like around 8-10% of people who are 'self-paying' for private medical treatment are borrowing the money.
As the Tory defunding strategy has pushed more people into the arms of private healthcare so their chums in financial services are also starting to garner some more business.
That desperate people are being forced into indebtedness to pay for treatment is a sad confirmation of the Tory's strategy of wrecking the NHS.

10 years ago I dislocated my sacroiliac joint, suffered from debilitating damage to my sciatic nerve. 24/7 intense pain not stopped with painkillers & an appointment to see a specialist 6 months away, i eventually went private. Diagnosed within 2 minutes, started treatment straight away. Couldn't work for a year. Lost taxes to Govt. Lost my house. For something the specialist told me I could have recovered from in 2 weeks if diagnosed straight away. Tory cost savings?
