I'll tell you something that they will have in both areas, though, if my wife's experience of working in the NHS is anything to go by...they'll have plenty of overpaid bureaucrats, managers and pen pushers, organising various initiatives, projects and meetings which produce plenty of meaningless reports that are of no value whatsoever to patients. This government has invested large amounts of money in the NHS, but so much of it has gone into red tape, instead of front-line services. A totally wasted opportunity, in my view.
