Austerity definitely the main factor there Dirk. The NHS by and large treats symptoms, that's to say sickness but doesn't really address root cause, as a result of government policy. What compounds the big problems with cuts to the NHS is that more people are getting sicker and they're getting sicker younger especially in lower socio economic groups but not exclusively. In the last 40 years the incidence of cancer, cardio vascular disease and diabetes is exponential even accounting for greater detection.
