Abstract
The ageing of the UK population will not automatically lead to increased demands on the NHS. If people live longer they stay healthy longer. The cost of caring for them is shifted, not increased. It has not been proven that an ageing population and the costs of medical technology justify the NHS receiving above-inflation funding increases year after year.
摘要
英国人口老龄化不会自动导致国民医疗服务体系（NHS）需求增加。如果人们寿命更长，他们保持健康的时间也会更长。照顾他们的成本只是转移了，而非增加了。目前尚无证据表明人口老龄化和医疗技术成本足以证明NHS每年获得高于通胀率的资金增长是合理的。
