As a result, the Govt. has been eager to encourage self-medication, where probable, in an endeavor to save money and time as optimizing convenience for the consumer. (the UK OTC Pharmaceuticals Market: UK pharmaceutical market report)
E) Is there any one burning issue related to health care in this country that is undergoing extensive debate? What do you know about it?
Although Britain NHS has been a model for the rest of the world to emulate, however over the years, a persistent concern with cost constraints and market-defined efficiencies since the bygone twenty years has radically battered the core principles of universal healthcare in UK. The discouragement of proceeds of central taxation as the funding base has been coupled with Govt. passing the costs and dangers to patients and their families. The internal market launched by the Thatcher Govt. In 1980s showed the most prominent features of these modifications, however, Tony Blair's Labor Govt. has decided to privatize it. The social contract of 1948 to offer a free community health service is gradually been dismembered. The British Govt. holds the view that it does not matter who extends healthcare services till they are Govt. supported. Improving efficiency is given to understand as 'reforms' and preference and modifying the delivery system. However, a system-based which is based on profit motive disintegrates the capability to pool the threats and expenses of healthcare from the healthy to sick and from wealthy to poor. The innate but unspoken logic of the NHS Plan is that the partners from the private-sector will manage hospitals but that would just be a lip service after all. A phased lowering of free; tax paid services will be seen at the point of use. There will be competition between the profits and needs, access and quality of service is sacrificed. (Bad Medicine)

The considerations of that which is physical and that which is fiscal in the work of Sajay (2005) are clearly polar opposites therefore in no way are they comprehensibly compatible but are destined to be at odds with one the other.

Therefore, a competitive health industry does not improve the situation for the uninsured; often, it makes it worse. In order for such a system to function properly, there needs to be a great deal of government subsidizing for those who cannot afford the health care costs.
