I have just read an article in my local paper The Euro Weekly News (freebie paper on the Costa Blanca, Spain) stating thus :
"BRITAIN'S foundering National Health Service has 264,012 administrators, but only 176,646 beds".
If this is in fact true, heaven help any one of those 'administrators' if they ever get sick and need an NHS hospital bed. On the other hand, they all possibly have private health insurance. What does anyone out there think of that statistic.

There are no lies or damned lies in this particular statistic - just an eloquence that says it all.

i can believe that stat. NHS is a joke. the welfare state is completely abused by New Labour who have ran it into the ground by pinching every penny they can.

"If you think health care is expensive now, wait until it's free."
Bonus points for ya if you can name the originator.
That level of inefficiency is typical of any government run institution.
