简单的计算显示,每年180亿英镑的全国性护理服务费用(参见《Burnham的国家护理服务将如何运作——以及如何获得资金?》,9月29日)相当于每周约3.5亿英镑。
A quick side-of-the-bus calculation reveals that the £18bn annual cost of a national care service ( How will Burnham’s national care service work – and how will it be funded?, 29 September ) equates to about £350m per week. How fortunate it is that an option declared by Andy Burnham of rejoining the EU would result in increased trade and hence greater public taxation revenues of £770m per week A chance for some joined-up thinking, perhaps?
幸运的是,如果安迪·伯纳姆重新加入欧盟,将带来贸易增长,从而增加每周7.7亿英镑的公共税收收入。这或许是一个进行综合性思考的机会?
