"Funded enough" would mean things like GP appointments in days rather than weeks, and specialized diagnosis/treatment in weeks rather than years.

What percentage of GDP would be needed for that? That question would require a lot of data and analysis to answer, far more than would be reasonable to expect for an HN comment.

Is it possible that the problem isn't caused by lack of money, but by organizational issues?

The problem is caused by the current in-power political party wanting to run the NHS into the ground so they can use the resulting bad performance to justify selling it off to their mates.
