Expert commentators fell politicians have consistently failed the NHS. Various governments have considered--and so far dismissed--schemes such as an NHS board to hive off awkward responsibilities. Underfunding drives the search for alternative systems, such as insurance--but no party has ever seriously considered abondoning the NHS.
专家评论员认为，政治家们一直未能让国民医疗服务体系（NHS）发挥作用。历届政府都曾考虑过——但迄今为止都予以否决——诸如设立一个国民医疗服务体系委员会来剥离棘手职责之类的方案。资金不足促使人们寻求替代体系，比如保险——但没有一个政党曾认真考虑过放弃国民医疗服务体系。
