@BBC5Live so conflicted on this.
It is not right to make people wait for treatment out of principle, so faster access to healthcare for those in need is important.
At the same time, shouldn't be like this. A universal, tax-funded healthcare system should not need adjunctive provision from private sector. #NHS
