The four publicly funded healthcare systems in the countries of the United Kingdom, may be referred to as the National Health Service (NHS).
The systems are primarily funded through central taxation. The services provide a comprehensive range of health services, the vast majority of which are free at the point of use for people legally resident in the United Kingdom. The four systems are entirely independent, and operate under different management, rules, and political authority.[1]
The individual systems are:
National Health Service (England)
Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland (HSCNI)
NHS Scotland
NHS Wales
