You should probably just accept the thread is a bit of a car crash. Most of the nitpicking is trying to work out what your actual point or angle is. There was no mention of your surprise, or whether you agreed or disagreed with the article you copied and pasted in the original post. You didn’t gives your thoughts linking it to other wastage you think there is, just later on start talking about expensive creams.
You can be surprised at a headline or a number, but when set against other numbers you can make more sense of what you’re looking at. The ‘Our Year In Numbers’ information you posted gave a great rundown as to why you shouldn’t be so surprised, and gave a clue as to how the original headline was misleading.
If you can’t understand why the thread has gone the way it has, I’m not going to explain it to you.
I am still surprised by the number of cases that they regularly settle.
I am particularly surprised by the value of outstanding claims.
Unless they dont plan on settling the outstanding claims in the next 50 years, then the current annual figure will shoot up at some point very soon.
Most of the stuff I have mentioned wouldnt be tolerated by the private sector.
So are you in favour of NHS privatisation then @HAYSIE ?
Even someone with my idiotic point of view would think that much of the below could be addressed quite easily.
Every year, close to £1.3 billion is defrauded from the NHS. It is a shocking attack on an organisation that needs every penny for patient care. What may surprise those who don’t know about the scale of fraud against the health service is how much of that money is stolen by insiders....
'Too many children' have tonsils removed unnecessarily
Based on these findings, the researchers estimate that 32,500 of the 37,000 child tonsillectomies in 2016-2017 in the UK were unnecessary, costing the NHS £36.9m.
Shropshire baby deaths: NHS trust was paid £1m for good care
An interim report into what has become the largest inquiry into maternity care in the history of the NHS, leaked last month, found a toxic culture had contributed to the avoidable deaths of babies and mothers as well as dozens of instances of significant harm.

NHS 'wasting millions on supplies' To give a couple of examples:
A few hospital trusts were paying £9.60 for 100 clinical waste bags while others were paying £18. And while one paid just 34p per face mask, a few were prepared to shell out £1.22 each. Perhaps most worryingly, one trust was paying just over £20 for a pack of A4 paper while another was getting a deal at £4.49. With the NHS spending of about £100bn a year, savings can make a difference - especially if they appear easy to achieve just by getting smarter with procurement. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-28427295

Fraud and errors 'costing NHS £7bn a year' Fraud is costing the NHS £5bn a year, with a further £2bn lost to errors, the former head of its anti-fraud section, Jim Gee, has suggested.
The amount lost to fraud alone could pay for nearly 250,000 new nurses, according to a report he co-authored that has been seen by Panorama.
