But there are slight differences in what is fully funded by government and what services are available across the different UK countries.
#What is the free#
The publicly funded health care service in Northern Ireland isn’t officially called the NHS, it’s actually called Health and Social Care Services ( HSC ).Įach NHS organisation and the HSC provide health care services free at the point of delivery. NHS England, NHS Wales (GIG Cymru), and NHS Scotland provide health care services in Great Britain. There’s more than one NHS in the UK, as the responsibility of health care has been passed fr o m t h e U K g o v e r n m e n t to the Scottish Government, Welsh Government, and Northern Irish Assembly. Most of the money is collected through UK residents paying tax. Instead, most health care services are ‘publicly funded’, which means money has been allocated by government to pay for this visit to the doctor. This means that any UK resident can, for example, go and see a doctor who will offer diagnosis or treatment for an illness without asking the individual to pay for this service during or after the visit.

People often refer to these health services as ‘free at the point of use (or delivery)’.
