No, fair enough, but instead of blindly ( not necessarily you) repeating the free at the point of care mantra , i'm sure we can learn from the likes of germany, france, australia , canada etc
Just a thought , we want more home grown doctors, we want to retain more of them , hence lets give them a carrot, ie no tuition fees if they work for the NHS for a specified number of years.
My sister lives in France and their system is infinitely better than ours , unfortunately ''free at the point of care'' has become a sticking point with politicians.
Its quite simple, they shouldnt be saddled with any debt, they should be contracted to work for the NHS for a specified number of years and as a result have no tuition fees for a start.
