What Is The NHS Contribution To Society

One of the biggest obstacles to successful management of the NHS, and also to any analysis of its current well being, remains the significant lack of any valid information as to what the NHS does, how much it costs and where the money is spent. Indeed, it is perhaps surprising that 'the 1990 changes' were conceived and implemented as fast as they were, given the lack of information that was available in 1988. (Ham, 1996) Attempts were made at the start to ensure that hospitals began from a 'level playing field' so that they were in fair competition with one another, but the sometimes 10 fold differences in the early quoted costs for identical services in different hospitals had as much to do with differing costs of maintaining buildings

Their aims are to aid people who are applicable to use their service. They are non-profit and are Governmental, which means that the Government funds the NHS by using a portion tax-payers’ money.

Of all the things I value, what makes me most happy is when I have the opportunity to help someone in need and I get to achieve that opportunity. The clubs I joined in high school allowed me to express this thing I love to do in many different aspects helping different people with many obstacles they face. The first activity I participated in was for entertainment purposes for dogs that are kept in pounds because they have not been adopted. This made my community stronger because we raised awareness to people who were interested in adopting after our activity, in addition to helping the dogs that are in need of attention and excitement using our abilities with art. In addition to this activity, National Art Honor Society has helped our school

For my community service activity, I have chosen to participate in SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) Club. It is an organization to empowering students to make better decisions in life. As a member, I will discourage the usage of bad habits by students in peaceful ways and promote programs. Something I will do is funding for people in need, make a poster for Breast Cancer and other programs, and advise students to make the right choices in life. By my participation, I will be able to promote a student to make the right decisions and staying positive in high school and in the future.

The National Health System began in 1948 with the aim to provide free health care for the English thus removing health access inequities. This essay considers two strengths of the NHS, being free health and locally responsive health care and two weaknesses being the financial burden and unprecedented pressure on health care resources.

Starting with the organizational structure of the NHS, it is basically an umbrella organization that comprises of four regional branches, in particular, NHS (England), NHS Scotland, Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland and NHS Wales. The financing for all these institutions comes from a universal source, particularly the tax-payer money of residents of UK, although they operate to an extent as self-governing institutions. The treasury allocates money to the department of Health, which in turn allocates money to NHS England (Understanding the new NHS). In other words, the top executives of these four institutions take decisions independently for day to day operations although they abide by broader governing directives applicable to the UK region as a whole. Governance is an important aspect of the operating of the NHS, for without it exploitation by private vested interests is likely to happen. (National Health Service (NHS): A study of its Structure, Funding and Regulation, Strengths and Weaknesses, n.d.)

The National health services (NHS) provides a comprehensive healthcare services across the entire nation. It is considered to be UK’s proudest institution, and is envied by many other countries because of its free of cost health delivery to its population. Nevertheless, it is often seen as a ‘political football’ as it affects all of us in some way and hence everyone carry an opinion about it (Cass, 2006). Factors such as government policies, funding, number of service users, taxation etc all make up small parts of this large complex organisation. Therefore, any imbalances within one sector can pose a substantial risk on the overall NHS (Wheeler & Grice, 2000). This essay will discuss whether the NHS aim of reducing the nations need

"The NHS is the closest thing the English have to a religion". Yet, as with all religions, informed debate is clouded by myths. The first is that the NHS does not have enough money. Spending on the NHS rose sevenfold between 1949 and 2002 (allowing for inflation) and has continued to rise since then. We can never spend "enough" on the NHS because the more we spend, the more demand there will be for healthcare.

The NHS has grown to become the world’s largest publicly funded health service system since 1948(Nhs.uk, 2015).There are many issues and disputes in NHS. Nowadays,some people believe that the NHS should be abolished or privatized,because it can solve many issues with NHS.This essay agree that the NHS should not be abolished or privatized.

Some of the key arguments that exist in today’s NHS are how it is organised and managed, and how it is to be funded. Should the government pay for it? Should the taxpayers pay for it? Or should it be privately run?

The NHS provides many benefits to its residents in the UK. Specific benefits include the cost, care and coverage of the system.

The NHS is a system that allows UK citizens to have free healthcare, to the point of use. However, immigrants and refugees, who have received diseases from their own country, come and abuse the NHS. The thing is, the NHS don't check any files and, even if you have just arrived in the UK, you will always be the subject of free healthcare. Consequently, the NHS suffers as a result of this. It is something that, along with many other things, needs to be fixed.

The NHS has been servicing the nation since its inception on 1948 and it is famous the world over. Prior to the NHS we had no public health care if you wanted to see a doctor you had to pay, there was a small provision for the poorest in the Poor Law 1601, which was amended in the 1834 The Poor Law Amendment Act, and then we had to wait till 1942 with the Beveridge report which the NHS is based on. During the last 60yrs the NHS has seen many changes in legislation and policy, some of these

The National Health Service (NHS) in Wales is a public funded sector which provides healthcare services to 3 million people. In 2009, the NHS in Wales went through changes to increase the quality of healthcare provision.

They are all intent to raise the standards of the workforce development, improving experiences of service users, ensure adequately trained, qualified and competent workforce, registration, inspection, reporting and developing and promoting good practice. For instance, the role of the Department of Health is “to help people to live better for longer”. This department is in charge of funding health care, making sure people have the support, care and treatment they need, “with the compassion, respect and dignity they deserve”. This works closely to the statutory provision, and can be see as the establishment of the NHS in the UK. On the other hand, the role of the National Institute of health and Clinical Excellence, NICE, is to improve the outcomes for people using the NHS and other public health and social care services.
