S2E16 - The Problem With The Fifth Largest Employer On The Planet

The NHS is, perhaps, the number one issue in the UK where everyone agrees there are huge problems, but nobody knows how to fix it. From its inception 76 years ago, providing universal healthcare, free at the point of use, for a population of 38 million. In just over three quarters of a century, the population has nearly doubled at 69 million, the NHS has expanded into being the fifth largest employer on the planet.This week on The Nathan Eckersley Podcast, Nathan looks at Labour's plans for the NHS and asks if they will be able to fix the health service. He also takes aim at the Government's plan for VAT on private school fees.About The Nathan Eckersley PodcastExpert political analysis and debate from a real-life political encyclopaedia.
