Original Note:
No data suggests that charging for appointments will improve wait times. The NHS is already funded mostly through general taxation and National Insurance contributions. How much money gets allocated to the NHS is decided by government. https://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/resource/how-much-is-covid-19-to-blame-for-growing-nhs-waiting-times https://publichealthscotland.scot/publications/nhs-waiting-times-stage-of-treatment/stage-of-treatment-waiting-times-inpatients-day-cases-and-new-outpatients-30-september-2022/ https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/projects/nhs-in-a-nutshell/how-nhs-funded https://fullfact.org/health/how-nhs-funded/
