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"?
