ASSIGNMENT : HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

The British health system is now better known as the National Health Service (NHS), which is a
nationally funded and managed health system that is mostly sourced from general taxes (tax-
funded). The total budget in 2007-2008 was close to £90 billion and continued to increase by 110
billion in 2010-2011. Efficiency cost is the main theme of the NHS which aims to improve existing
health services. The UK also provides the opportunity for its citizens to purchase additional health
services through private insurance, a characteristic that resembles a two-tier system. There are a
number of factors influencing the speed of transition to universal coverage, namely high levels of
economic growth increasing the ability of citizens to contribute to health financing schemes,
growth in the formal sector facilitates income assessment and revenue collection, availability of
skilled workers affects the ability to manage the national health insurance system, the acceptance
of the concept of solidarity by the community affects the ability to pool funds/insurance
contributions and the integration of various health insurance schemes, the effectiveness of
government regulations on the financing side as well as the provision of health services in the
insurance/pre-effort system and the level of public trust in the government that affects participation
(WHO, 2005). In the UK implemented a tax-based health insurance system called "National Health
Service" (National Health Service abbreviated as NHS). Financing for the NHS is funded by taxes
provided to the Ministry of Health by parliament. The NHS provides free almost all types of health
services, such as antenatal care, emergency care, and others. The exceptions, which require only a
small payment, are prescriptions, dental and eye treatments.

The Health Nursing System in the UK, explains some of the ways in which the nursing system
works, and how the system works and understands and analyzes. Health care in the UK is
theoretically meant to provide free healthcare to anyone who needs it when they need it and the
NHS gets the money because it is a government organization it has to be funded by the government
from two main sources most of this money comes from taxation of the working population and
then the smaller additional amount comes from the so-called National Insurance contribution.
The UK's healthcare services are able to achieve a lot on a limited budget and provide a wide range
of healthcare services to the country's 69 million people TS NHS actually comprises four separate
healthcare systems from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Health care is a delegated
power so all delegated administrations have responsibility responsible for health care in their area
while in the UK. And the UK department has the UK health and social care system has a structure
and function that is generally similar to the NHS England budget and things like waiting times
targeting best care practices and which care should be made available to patients are all shaped
externally, and the department of health and social care itself is actually quite decentralized it
assigns several specialist services centrally such as safe mental hospitals and care.
