ChrisMayLA6, ICYMI: The political economy of UK private healthcare:
in 2022 private hospitals' revenue looked like this:
28% - self-paying procedures (including non-nationals)
41% - procedures covered by private health insurance
31% - contact work for the NHS (which has tripled since 2003)
The normalisation of private health care is a direct result of the Tories NHS strategy, and will (even if Labour wanted to) take years to unravel.
