12.4 billion is a hell of alot of money... but not when compared to the untold 100's of billions of north sea oil money that was squanderd, given away to big business and used to prop up the unemployment/social security payouts that a nation with offically more 3 million unemployed and over 7 million cliaming unemplyment related benifits.... A one off windfall of 100's of billions that will never return.
The National Health Service has improved for the first time in living memory.. no doubt about it.. how much it has cost and how much money has been badly allocated is a different matter.
