NHS Funding

NHS funding refers to the financial resources allocated to the National Health Service in the UK to deliver healthcare services. This funding predominantly comes from general taxation and National Insurance contributions paid by individuals and businesses. The government decides on funding levels each year based on health needs, economic factors, and policy priorities. The funds are used to pay for hospitals, staff salaries, medical supplies, and services like general practice and emergency care, ensuring that healthcare remains accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay.
