I'm not entirely surprised that in polling for Healthwatch England, while 28% of those polled said they'd used private #healthcare in the past year, 14% (that's half of them) had been advised to do so by #NHS professionals.
Around a third were advised to go private as #waitinglists were long, or they'd get better quality care, while just under a quarter required treatment no longer available via the NHS.
The #Tories two-tier system is firmly established fed by the #NHScriris they engineered!
