  Benenden Chief Executive Colin Christopher Bennett warns that the NHS is increasingly being asked to address an impossible equation."The UK, like other developing societies, faces expanding waistlines, extending demographics, growing public expectation, growing genetic medicine, plus growing social and economic migration.Asking the NHS to tackle all that is like watching a pressure cooker spit and steam.Tightening the lid now, with current reforms, is at best a stress inducing short term measure that will see the system boil over again in due course".Mr Bennett's remarks at a recent UK health debate at Leeds Castle, Kent, where he also signalled that "Unbearable demands placed on the NHS by Eastern European migration were just the start of what will be a huge global trend over the next 5 to 10 years, as economic development in India and China outstrips that of the USA in the 1950's.

  Benenden Healthcare Society Chief Executive Colin Christopher Bennett outlined the challenges facing the UK National Health Service and argued for a template for national healthcare services based on mutual principles. "Nation states ought to agree what is in a basket of essential healthcare which would be paid for through taxation. Other services could then be offered through regional and local authorities or private bodies and funded by local charges and/or private contribution," Mr Bennett told the conference. He argued that the NHS's success - more than 1.5 million people use it every day - in improving service standards has meant the debate on healthcare has continued to focus on funding versus delivery gaps on clinical effectiveness, quality and efficiency.
