There are three systems which are referred to using the "NHS" name ( NHS England, NHS Scotland and NHS Wales).

In England, NHS patients have to pay prescription charges; some, such as those aged over 60 and certain state ben ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
