This is what students think of the NHS

It's a huge political talking point and is sometimes called Britain's unofficial national religion. Tomorrow, George Osborne is set to pledge £2bn of extra cash to it in his Autumn Statement. But we want to know: what is the first thing young people think of when they hear the word "NHS"?

With some help from our fantastic student ambassadors, we got answers from 25 students at 18 different universities across the country.
