a big fat Zero.

Something along the lines of:-

- contribute no more. The NHS only to provide emergency care, you need private care for anything else (I suspect this is where the Govt. wants to go)

- 1p in the pound more tax. Try and maintain the status quo, with the NHS cutting some non-life threatening treatments.

- 2p more, status quo

- 3p more. More GP's and out of hours service

- 4p more. All singing and dancing 7 days a week NHS providing all care.

Then we couldn't whinge because we'd made the choice.
What if we went for the 8p option? But then that proved not to be enough either, could we moan then?

more money isn't the answer, it's a little bit of the answer but I wouldn't give it more money unless the whole concept of the NHS was completely reimagined.
