It was the 75th birthday of the NHS. Lots of those on the right have used the day to state that the NHS model is not working and reform is needed.
I agree, a reform of funding is needed. During the years that Labour was in charge of the NHS, it improved with falling waiting lists, and that corresponded with increasing funding levels which have been, on average, greater than what the Conservative government have given the NHS. During the time that the Conservatives were in charge, waiting lists rose.
Remember that despite promising not to reform the NHS, David Cameron did once elected. So when people on the right call for reform, it was reformed by the Conservatives and performance has fallen since.

"Why"
"Germany has more beds/doctors/nurses/capacity and they have social insurance"
"Why"
"Well their insurance system spends more"
