So - there was a boat race between a Japanese crew and NHS. Both sides practice long and hard. The Japanese won by a mile. So the NHS faced with this problem set up a working party. The working party report that the Japanese crew had 8 people rowing and 1 steering, and the NHS crew had 8 people steering and 1 rowing. So they brought in management consultants who confirmed the diagnosis. They suggested that the NHS crew should be completely restructured with 3 Assistant Steering Managers, 3 Deputy Steering Managers, a Director of Steering Services, and a rower incentivised to row. They had another race. They lost by 2 miles. They laid off the rower for poor performance. They sold off the boat.
(Tony Benn 1988)

You can always ‘pass by on the other side (refuse care if unable to pay). That may be sound economics. It could not be worse morals. A Bevan
The essence of a NHS is that the rich & the poor are treated alike, that poverty is not a disability, & wealth is not advantaged. Nye Bevan
If the job is to be done [A National Health Service], the state must accept financial responsibility. Aneurin Bevan 1952
