How would you solve the NHS crisis?Hello everyone, just recently joined and have read most of your comments with interest. I think, however, there is another side to the NHS crisis, and that is the growing prescription bill and the consequent cost to the NHS. To take just one item which grows year on year - Statins. These cost the NHS some £450m a year and as far as I can see heart disease is increasing. I cannot see anything improving in the NHS as long as the pharmaceutical companies have such a strong influence on GP's pushing largely unnecessary and very expensive drugs. Another thing, GP's are paid extra for diagnosing certain diseases - what's that all about, thought it was their job.
