National Health Service

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each has a separate public healthcare system, established by separate pieces of legislation, that began operating on 5 July 1948. Though often collectively referred to as "the" National Health Service, each system operates independently and is politically accountable to the relevant devolved administration for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and to the UK government for England.
