# ALTERNATIVE NAME 1: Statement 1 - The National Health Service is well run in some areas, but could be better in others. We agree that the NHS should be well funded and have enough staff to help people, but we also think that the leadership in the individual hospitals could be improved. We think that the lack of funding is the most significant reason why the way the NHS is ran is of poor quality, though the leadership in the individual hospitals do tend to be good. We also think that the German Healthy service has a far more efficient structure that reduces waiting times and gets the patients directly to a specialist. We also think that the politicians used it as a voters bate and never address the core problems and blindly throw money in the NHS's direct if they remember to at all.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - In general, the NHS is well-run. The NHS is a well-run service in the sense that it is the most cost-effective healthcare system in the world. However, there is a growing demand for the NHS and this has led to increasing waiting times for treatment. There is a need to invest more into the NHS and to restructure it to make it more scalable. The NHS is well-run in that it provides universal healthcare, but more funding is needed.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - We have come to the conclusion that the NHS is not well run. It is a great concept and it is fantastic that the UK is one of the few countries in the world that offer universal healthcare to all citizens. However, the lack of funding is a major problem for the NHS. This has led to a situation where NHS staff are overworked and underpaid, leading to many strikes. The NHS is also not scalable, meaning that as the population grows, so does the demand on the NHS. This is not a problem that can be solved by simply throwing more money at the NHS. We believe that a major restructure is required in order to make the NHS more scalable.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 4: Statement 4 - The NHS is a well-run organisation that is a source of national pride. The organisation provides universal healthcare to all citizens, regardless of their ability to pay. The NHS has, however, been underfunded for a number of years, and this has led to the increasing of waiting times and staff shortages. We believe that the NHS should be better funded in order to improve waiting times and staff shortages.
