Not very sensible for the NHS to be doing this when the British people are perfectly capable of doing it to themselves.

I'd love to see the maths on that. Perhaps that R4 programme More or Less should do a special on it?

Indeed. From that Metro article:

John O’Connell, chief executive of the thinktank TaxPayers’ Alliance, argued taxpayers will be ‘more than uncomfortable’ with the rising cost for these surgeries.
