This is largely a consequence of chronic underfunding, a deliberate political choice by the Conservative party.

is it possible to define "underfunded" in an objective way? people inevitably die, and an individual's life can usually be extended at least a little by a marginal increase in spending. what would it take for you to not consider the system "underfunded"?

Sure, pick a mean time to appointment, and fund until you reach it. :)
