That passage wasn't about the bloody top-up ban. It's about reference pricing systems, single rooms & stuff

It's also not correct about single rooms: offered on a paid basis in maternity where available

Oh yes, amenity beds....a private room for a small cost. This is a partial subsidy that benefits the well off at public expense.

Yep. Healthcare is very, very expensive. Because it's delivered by people. General academic consensus is that NHS delivers cost-effectively.

Concensus is based on utilitarian outcomes which have limits. You end up with a depersonalisation, often oblivious to patients' own values.

That can be a problem. How to fix it? Choice and voice appears to have limited traction; markets need expensive spare capacity & management

Avoiding running excessively lean capacity is no bad thing. For elective care, why not publish direct patient feedback after a few months?

Actually to differentiate between those needing beds and those in backlog. This is much more a backend issue. I've suggested a few changes..
