He said he feels cheated by the system after paying taxes for decades, and said he could get the same NHS consultant to operate in about two months if he paid privately.
Dr Collins said while the NHS should celebrate its ability to train some of the best medics in the world, the service was "squandering that expertise" due to "doctors leaving the UK in droves". Prof Marcus Longley, a health economist and former chairman of Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board, said a lot had changed for the NHS since it celebrated its 70-year anniversary.
