The government is committed to raise spending on healthcare in the UK up to the European average by 2006. There is debate about the exact target figure, but agreement that the key consideration is how the extra money will be spent. If the UK is to achieve the EU average, it will probably have to increase private as well as public spending. To match German levels of staffing, the UK would need an extra 100,000 doctors and 300,000 nurses. There has been little analysis of how the extra expenditure will improve outcomes.
政府致力于到2006年将英国的医疗保健支出提高到欧洲平均水平。对于确切的目标数字存在争议，但大家一致认为关键的考虑因素是额外的资金将如何使用。如果英国要达到欧盟平均水平，可能不得不增加私人和公共支出。为了达到德国的人员配备水平，英国将需要额外增加10万名医生和30万名护士。对于额外支出将如何改善医疗效果，几乎没有进行分析。
