The real solution
Ironically, if everyone were to eat and drink healthily, get adequate sleep and exercise, and refrain from harming themselves with tobacco, excessive alcohol and other drugs, the total NHS bill could probably be halved or better. But that would be bad for profits! First corporations make a fortune selling crap food and drink, cigarettes, booze and (the illegal corporations) illegal drugs. Then the pharmaceutical, medical and insurance industries make a bundle selling drugs and treatment to alleviate (but not, if possible, cure) the conditions that were caused by the crap food and drink and drugs.
Also, of course, managers persist in making their employees work all the hours that God sends and more, treating them in highly stressful ways, and denying them adequate time and facilities to rest and exercise.
If people ate, drank, slept and exercised healthily and were treated decently at work (and were able to get work) far, far fewer of them would be chronically ill.
