| | National Health Service |
 | | An extension of the National Insurance Panel system, under which a doctor could set up anywhere he wished, and which has meant that some areas are over and some under-supplied with doctors, would be inconsistent with the obligation to provide a medical service for all. | | | The general principles of the Health Service will apply equally in Scotland, but there will be some differences in organisation, arising partly out of the concentration of 80 per cent of the population in the industrial 'waist' of the country, with the rest in sparsely populated areas. | | | The object is to provide for everybody a comprehensive service (with the temporary exception of dental and mental health treatment), irrespective of means, age, sex, or occupation, and to divorce it from questions of personal means by giving it, with a few exceptions, free of charge. |

| | Furthermore, the Bureau of Primary Health Care that houses the CHC program has pledged to offer behavioral and mental health services at all start-up health centers, thus creating new jobs for health service psychologists. | | | Our advocacy efforts on the reauthorization of the NHSC was the culmination of approximately 8 years of working with the agency to increase its focus on behavioral and mental health and to increase the participation of behavioral and mental health professionals in its programs. | | | The NHSC went from including a dozen behavioral and mental health professionals to a couple of thousand psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers. |

| | As of May, 2001 all indications were that the British National Health Service continued to "languish from bureaucracy, demoralization and capricious medical fads" (clearly not a formula for success). | | | The British Health Service continues to announce that the official list of those waiting for care is shrinking. | | | The real sadness is that common sense programs which reflect the patient's best interest, allow for latest technology, are a "true" health care system, and are cost-effective actually exist. |

| | The National Health Service (NHS) was introduced in 1948 to ensure that good quality health care would be available for all the population as and when it was needed, regardless of the wealth (or otherwise) of the individual. | | | So our health system, funded by central government, built hospitals in all major centres of population and set about training doctors, nurses and associated health service technicians. | | | So the primary health care GP operates and lives in the community he serves often striking up life long relationships with his patients families. |

| | spiked-health Article Public squalor or private rip-off? |
| | The fact that the first two decades of the NHS were also a period of dramatic developments in antibiotics and other drugs and surgical techniques contributed to the enhanced prestige of the health service and the medical profession. | | | Driven by the government's quest for legitimacy, this is bad for the health service, bad for the medical profession and bad for the public. | | | One potent symbol of the degradation of the ethos of public service and professionalism in the NHS is the current preoccupation of health service staff - from doctors to ambulance workers - with the threat of violence from patients. |

| | British Medical Journal: Paying for the NHS - UK National Health Service - Letter to the Editor |
| | Disparities in funding levels between the countries of the United Kingdom do not seem to have a direct effect on health outcomes.[2] It is important first to determine an ethical framework for allocation of resources among competing priorities in public health. | | | Failure to do so will negate the government's commitment to improved participation of patients and the public in defining health needs and will instead serve to reinforce the primacy of the acute sector over population based approaches to health gain. | | | In this way, we can achieve an element of the discipline of the market--allowing people to choose what to buy--while retaining social justice. |

| | BBC News Special report Making Britain better |
| | The new National Health Service (NHS) was the cornerstone of the post-war Labour government's commitment to build a new Jerusalem in an impoverished Britain, painfully recovering from six years of war. | | | By allowing the consultants to work inside the health service and at the same time still treat their lucrative private patients, Bevan bought the backing of the consultants by, as he put it, "stuffing their mouths with gold." | | | Once the Health Bill became an act in the closing months of 1946, the BMA immediately adopted a policy of non co-operation with the health service and refused to negotiate with the minister on their conditions of service. |

| | During the early years of the service many complaints were recorded in the journals, of inappropriate demands for medical care--particularly out of hours--of unrealistic expectations of patients, and of the regulations covering certificates for sickness benefit and the need for prescriptions for eye tests, corsets, and similar items. | | | The terms and conditions of service precluded any radical initiatives to improve the service, but a spirit of inquiry was everywhere, and early research into the content of general practice was beginning to provide facts on the basis of which general practitioner care could be developed. | | | The one great financial benefit that the service conferred on many general practitioners was to relieve them from the burden of bad debts and the need to employ debt collectors. |
