How would you make the NHS fit for the future? In this country, what would you do, Candice? I would partially marketise it, like they do in Australia. People who work on the NHS, especially with the cost of living now, they think, I work this stressful job, I put in all these hours, and yet my pay barely covers my bills. If you have different providers providing various services and stuff, they want your
