The National Health Service created in 1947 by A Labour government. According to the Beverage Report the suggestions and displaced a private system of payment for health care with one of free treatment for all at the point of need. The medical profession wishes keep private medicine and negative the establishment of the NHS, but this was reported by the Labour government (Oakland, 2011. p212). The NHS represents the National Health Service that provides healthcare for all UK citizens. It is according their requirement instead of their ability to pay for and it is funded by taxes.
The service is very important in this country. It as a free service and it is an achievement, and it is considered to be one of the successes of consumer demand. In principle, no matter labour or non labour, regardless of the size of the personal ability to pay, and can get free all-round medical service. Everyone enjoy medical security and can effectively control medical total cost, better reflect the principle of social equity. So, I think this service has advantages more than disadvantage.
Advantages:
