more information (editors only)

The National Health Service (NHS) is the public health service which covers most of the population of the United Kingdom.

Health care provided by the NHS is funded by the taxpayer and is mainly free at the point of delivery. There are charges for only a few NHS services - some prescriptions, eye tests and dental treatment.
