NI contributions went the same as Income Tax, Death duties, VAT, Exise, betting tax, stamp duty....all into the same government pot. No UK government has ever practised hypothesization, so your NI funded lots of things from teachers to trident missiles, just as booze and fag tax went towards the NHS. No government has committed a set proportion of NI to funding the NHS.
I'll let you have another go.
