Β£20-Β£30,000 per year: The National Health Service

Journalist and documentary-maker Jenny Kleeman explores the sensitive issue of how NHS budgets are split between different health conditions. Read by the author.

In a world in thrall to data, it’s possible to run a cost-benefit analysis on anything – including life itself. Journalist, broadcaster and documentary-maker Jenny Kleeman takes us on a journey to meet some of the people who decide what we're worth, exploring what we lose and gain by leaving the judgements that matter up to cold logic.

Kleeman explores the process by which NHS budgets are allocated – and meets some of the people who found their lives changed by the stroke of a pen.
