The NHS asked the great British public how it could improve and it went just as well as you’d imagine – 14 favourite suggestions

As part of its mission to build a health service fit for the future, the NHS launched an online consultation portal where the public can chime in with its suggestions for improvement.

But don’t take it from us, here’s health secretary Wes Streeting wanging on about it (and much else besides).

But, Britain being Britain – the country that voted for a boat to be christened Boaty McBoatface when given the chance, don’t forget – the replies weren’t always 100% sincere and practical.

A lot of them, however, were hilarious. Ranging from the wry and satirical through to the downright surreal, the consultation portal has already yielded some comedy gold despite only being open for 24 hours.

Here are some of the best, if not useful suggestions, many of them compiled in a thread by Twitter user Florence Schechter. Enjoy…
