Explained in plain English

Your tax money at work

The NHS is funded by your taxes, so when it's inefficient, it means more of your money is potentially being spent without the best results. If the NHS became more efficient, it could mean better services without needing to increase the tax burden on you, or even free up funds for other public services.
