    It’s an over-simplification to say “private cataract operations have hurt the NHS.” I’m sure many of the “private” eye doctors are also NHS eye doctors, some of whom have 50 week waiting lists (code for you can even get on the list). But pay a few grand and you can see them privately next week.

A well funded NHS will be more cost effective. The private sector only treat ‘profitable’ conditions and contribute little to staff training.
